Educate a child, prevent gender-based violence.

I-SEEED Youths and its team are indeed grateful for all the support that GlobalGiving and our donors have contributed to us thus far, both locally and internationally.

We have received four (4) additional funding from the GlobalGiving platform and twelve (12) from local donors since our last report, which amount to a total of 2205 USD in cash. The materials that we have received have amounted to 1322 USD and we're expecting much more. We also received a grant for the construction of a greenhouse to support the project which is 50,000 USD. We have already done the construction of same and have planted sweet peppers for sale, and the revenue will be used to fund the project.

We have also started doing classes with what we have thus far, and we have also received support from a team member to use their facility to do the classes. We are very appreciative of all the support, especially to the donors on the GlobalGiving platform who have entrusted us with their funds to get this project done. 

There has been a significant increase in the cases of deaths of children in Jamaica, because of gender-based violence, and we are doing more campaigns to raise more funds to get the facility done as soon as possible. The demand is great and we continue to support the families, especially the children who have to go back home to these toxic environments after we are through in the evenings, However, we are not daunted by the killings, we continue to stand resolute and seek all the necessary support we can, to ensure that we preserve lives, which is very important. 

We have been able to provide meals for them, which we are also grateful for because they spend over 10 hours with us during the days and it's very good to have smiles on their faces. 

Thank you so very much again, and we're looking forward to hearing and working with you, as we seek to save more lives.
