Educate a child, prevent gender-based violence.

I-SEEED Youths, the team and beneficiaries are indeed grateful to the GlobalGiving Team, our phenomenal local and global donors who have provided us with the funds and the opportunity to continue impacting lives. 

We received a payout from the GlobalGiving platform in July, which was put towards our programs and continued building of our center. The children are booming with pride, love, laughter and are excited for this new school term that we are preparing them for. We had a successful summer camp with 254 children and seven (7) new partners who donated items for the back-to-school program.

We received more donations from our valued donors who came on board to contribute towards our cause, thank you dearly and we invite you to continue donating and sharing with your network. The team has received confirmation from one of our donors United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in building another greenhouse towards the eradication of poverty and empowerment of youths who are at-risk and have been affected by gender-based violence. This grant is one hundred twenty-five thousand (125,000 USD) which will definitely help us to do more work in this area. We have also received a great contribution from a Retired Librarian of books to read to our children and youths in general. A Fundraising event was done to raise more funds to get the building done and equipped effectively and efficiently for the children. We raised $125, 700 JMD from that event to purchase more materials for further work to be done. 

However, we are seeking more contributions in our continued efforts to finalize the center and create a lasting change for these children. Any assistance that can be afforded at this time will be greatly appreciated. We have received some children who have disabilities, as such, we are seeking more support because it is much more challenging to care for them and we cannot turn them away. 

Thank you again team and we are looking forward to sharing with you our success stories and the impact you have been creating through your hard-earned donations. On behalf of the entire team at I-SEEED Youths and our beneficiaries, we are appreciative of all the donations and thank you for choosing us.
