Story

Dear All,  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my donation page... This is my story...... 

I met an amazing lady called Alison Hall at a presentation evening in mid November. She told a Story of how she had attended a conference in , listening to a presentation on the life of farmers in . Alison and another one of her amazing work colleagues, Tamsin, were touched by the experiences Jasmine talked about in her presentation. From that day on, Jasmine, Alison and Tamsin, took it upon themselves to become committed to doing something!

In 2008, they set up a charity called Seeds for Development. Their mission being to lift farmers out of poverty and support self-sustainability by providing risk free loans, in the form of agricultural inputs such as seed, fertiliser, fungicide and herbicide directly to the farmers.

Since January 2008, they have helped more than 200 farmers move out of poverty to building houses, buying goats, pigs, cows, bicycles and even mopeds.  Best of all, the children can now go to school.   We now work with more than 400 farmers in 4 farmers groups.

A simple process

1. The farmers inform SfD of the amount required by the group.

2. The money is transferred to the farmer’s group bank account.

3. The farmers purchase the seeds from Victoria Seeds.

4. After the harvest, Victoria Seeds buy the seed crop from the farmers and deduct the value of the loan.

5. The loan is re-cycled to support other farmers
