OUR STRATEGY

Seed Effect is committed to bringing Christ-centered economic empowerment to the hard places.

Hope starts with a simple green box

Each Seed Effect Savings & Loan group receives a secure metal box filled with the necessary tools for establishing a safe place to save. These tools, combined with the long-term guidance of our Indigenous staff, promotes holistic poverty alleviation.

Inside the box

The materials included in our secure metal box, combined with the long-term guidance of our Indigenous team, promote holistic poverty alleviation.
