HOW CENTS FOR SEEDS WORKS
1
You give $40
Your gift becomes a 30kg seed loan, distributed to one woman as she enters the program.

With comprehensive training and farming tools provided, the woman plants her seeds, looking forward to newfound food security for her family.

Yielding anywhere from 150-300kg of seeds, the woman can feed her family for a whole year and sell the surplus to generate an income.

She returns her original 30kg seed loan ahead of the next season, and a new woman receives her seeds so she can begin her own life-changing journey.
