SEED Livelihood

micro-enterprise that makes sense

seed recognizes that micro-enterprise cannot always mean making jewelry, bags, or other handicrafts that will sell

in the u.s. people have different skills, and communities need different products and services. your investment in these seed

Capital efforts (see pages 17-18) promotes livelihood for more than one individual or family: we work with groups to see greater

community transformation.

sustainable small business groups using sustainable materials.seed’s earrings highlight some of the materials that our partner groups source sustainably in their own countries:

SEED DEVELOPMENT FUND

your church can partner with SEED!But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! - Amos 5

• Pray for holistic small business ministries and for seed.• Follow seed Livelihood on social media.• Host an event and trunk shows.• Donate to SEED team’s support and for travel to work with groups.• Invest in seed Capital projects.

go to SEEDLivelihood.org to invest in microenterprise that makes sense in communitie around the world.

The seed development fund is the most strategic way to facilitate businesses around the world. we use this to help with startup costs when a group has shown it has an effective, sustainable business plan – and so we don’t have to send out frequent appeals to you, our u.s. partners. Three years ago, one family’s trust gave $25,000, and that money has helped launch nine businesses across Latin America, europe, Africa, and Asia.

That’s more than 100 families (so far) with long-term sustainable livelihood because of one donation! see http://seedlivelihood.org/store/seed-development-fund/ for more information and to invest.
