SEED (Secondary Education to Encourage Development) is a small charity which sponsors Tanzanian Primary School leavers to attend secondary and tertiary education.
We work with 14-25 year old villagers in Iringa, Tanzania
Living in a village here is notoriously hard. Almost all villagers are subsistence farmers, relying completely on the promise of coming rain for their crops to grow and ultimately their own survival.
The chance of an education helps to change the otherwise vicious circle of poverty. Our students have shown great potential in their achievements with each being supported to attain their chosen career. Having completed their secondary education with us, students may continue to be sponsored through university, vocational training college or have the opportunity to start an income generation project in their home village.
