2023 was a fruitful year, full of impactful stories and growth. We are proud of the great work we have accomplished with our partners around the globe. We know we are stronger when we work together with diverse and capable partners, including local implementing organizations, donors, sponsors, and volunteers.
In 2023, we had the pleasure of working with 39 implementing partners in 20 countries to put over 759,000 packets of seed into the hands of people that could use it the most. This is enough seed to grow over 2,500 tons of food and over 27 million servings of vegetables! Our beneficiaries included women’s groups, refugees, internally displaced people, schools, and small-holder farmers struggling to adapt to environmental extremes. You can view our 2023 Impact Report here.
We look forward to continuing our work in 2024 and beyond, as we celebrate our 25th year as an organization! We recently published our 5-year plan on the Our Approach page of our website. This plan directs our priorities and ensures our programs are achieving their goals and creating real improvements in the lives of our partners and beneficiaries.
We are deeply thankful to everyone that supported us. Whether it be through monetary donations, seed, packaging, testing, time, or promoting our stories – your support has been invaluable. You enabled us to strengthen communities and support individuals as they strive to create sustainable change in their livelihoods.
