Seeds of South Sudan Transforms Lives in Africa Through Education in Kenya

Seeds of South Sudan is an Arvada-based, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that transforms the lives of South Sudanese orphans with the help of generous donors and sponsors in Colorado and beyond. When new sponsors commit to support an orphan, Seeds founder Arok Garang and volunteers interview children and retrieve them from a UN refugee camp in northern Kenya.  The children are educated in Kenyan boarding schools.  The photo below shows Amach Kongor (in black) who described how life-changing it was to leave Kakuma Refugee Camp to be educated in Kenya. Here is an interview Amach did with Denver 7 TV: https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/colorado-nonprofit-raising-funds-to-help-educate-and-relocate-south-sudan-refugees#google_vignette

At the UN Refugee Camp, they receive one meal a day and attend classes with up to 100 students.  When they join the Seeds family, they receive three meals a day, medical care, and the opportunity to attend top-notch boarding schools. Since 2009, Seeds has educated more than 180 South Sudanese orphans to be “seeds of change for South Sudan.”

 Please consider donating to help transform the lives of these precious orphan children. Seeds has earned a 4-star, 97 rating on Charity Navigator, the largest evaluator of nonprofits in the US. Your donation will go far to help these students. Seeds governing board is all volunteer. We have a small number of paid staff in Kenya.

Testimonials

"Such a great cause. It is run extremely efficiently." Rona Wronker

"To rescue an orphan from one of the oldest refugee camps in the world ( Kakuma) in which refugees are allotted only one meal a day, where water has to be carried in, where education is inaccessible, where hope is bleak, and to then provide the opportunity for a child to receive an education in Nakuru, Kenya and live in a loving home with other orphans is the greatest investment in that student's life. 

It is the difference between hope and despair. Indeed, an education gives that orphan a chance at life and a future. To rescue a parentless child from such despairing refugee camp conditions and offer hope and an education is a most noble endeavor. Seeds of South Sudan, founded by a former refugee, an orphan himself, Arok Garang, is an honorable organization, worthy of everyone's support."   Rev. Heidi McGinness of Unflinching Hope Ministries Worldwide
