We believe that people living in extreme poverty often need some strategic assistance. Real help doesn’t come from just giving things to them without a purpose or strategy. Well intentioned giving can even complicate poverty reduction efforts, by creating dependence on the outside resources.
Seeds of Dignity seeks to create partnerships with individuals and communities which require some type of a counterpart and commitment.
Scholarships are granted in villages where people are involved in livelihood projects and educational partnerships.
Seeds of Dignity Ministries is an approved 501(c)(3) Charity organization, organized in Tennessee. We have board members in Tennessee, Missouri, California, Arizona, and the Philippines who volunteer their time to support our efforts.
