Building stronger futures
in northern Uganda
In remote villages of northern Uganda, children are held back by hunger and limited access to early education. Seeds for Development works with the most vulnerable rural communities to create lasting change through farming, education and sustainable development.
Join us in supporting vulnerable families and building stronger, more resilient communities.
We work directly with village communities in northern Uganda.
Northern Uganda was torn apart by two decades of war. The lives and livelihoods of the Acholi people were destroyed. We work in villages near the towns of Gulu and Kitgum - places deeply affected by displacement and war - supporting farmers and their families through farming, early education, and strengthening the local economy. Find out more about where we work here.
Our impact
In 2014, Nighty was facing unimaginable hardships. Unable to feed her family, her children were forced to eat grass and insects to survive. She had no possessions other than a single saucepan and a seven-litre jerry can. Nighty and her children slept on straw scattered on the floor, sharing their space with chickens and using rags for blankets.
With some seeds, training and a lot of encouragement, Nighty's life began to change. Today, she has her own bedroom, a bed, and a mosquito net to protect her from malaria. Her children go to school and Nighty earns money by raising goats and chickens.
Nighty's transformation is inspirational. Her journey from extreme poverty to self-sufficiency keeps us motivated.
Join us as we help as many others as we can, providing them with the tools and support they need to build better futures.
