Our Story

In Taiama and surrounding villages, families were facing daily hunger. Founded by Daniel Josiah in 2022 after witnessing children go hungry, Seed of Life started with a small plot and four volunteers. Today, we mobilize farmers, schools, and youth to grow nutritious food and build resilient livelihoods.

Agricultural Entrepreneurship

Encouraging a system of entrepreneurship is one way villagers can gain independence and overcome hunger and poverty. Programs that empower the villagers (especially the youth) through leadership and accountability, help foster a feeling of selflessness and responsibility to their family and community members. By teaching the value of working together for a common goal, we can instill a sense of pride and ownership in the next generation.

 

When it comes to ending hunger and poverty, there is no silver bullet. Understanding the importance of hard work and perseverance is a factor in helping people to see a way out of the cycle of poverty and hunger. In turn, they will be more likely to take care of their land and resources, and pass down these values to their own children. Only then can we hope to achieve a lasting peace and prosperity in the world. It won't be easy, but if we can help villagers take control of their own destiny, we can begin to see a continent and world where everyone has enough to eat.
