Seeds of Hope has established itself as a highly sought-after organization to educate local children in a loving, caring, and peaceful environment. Parents are very supportive of the expansion of one grade per year so they can keep their children in this setting throughout their lives. This is a peaceful haven of love and acceptance for the families.
The government observes the excellence of Seeds of Hope education, the high demand from the families to register their children in the programs, the waiting list for students, and the effectiveness of community outreach. They see the positive results and collaboration and support the leadership.
Prior to COVID-19, churches have willingly and increasingly sent their teams to provide financial and human resources to the effort. There is great opportunity to develop additional partnerships with other churches and resume short term trips.
Seeds of Hope annually impacts the lives of 520 children and 2,425 family members in their various outreaches.
Seeds of Hope has annually distributed 150 wheelchairs, 70 walkers/canes, 800 eyeglasses and other needed supplies and medical equipment.
Seeds of Hope typically sponsors two short term medical trips with medical doctors and other health care professionals per year and ministers to an average of 1000 people who need medical treatment.
Seeds of Hope annually sponsors multiple construction teams each year who come to restore homes and help rebuild the community of Jericho.
Volunteers/missionaries minister to families, children, and the communities extending the love of Christ in tangible, humanitarian ways in homes and communities daily.
The Seeds of Hope team is actively involved in leadership training and the leadership team receives ongoing executive coaching to advance their leadership skills.

Over its 12-year history, Seeds of Hope has raised $11.2M in cash contributions and $26M in in-kind donations for education and humanitarian aid for the community.
Each year, a new grade is added to the school, expanding the reach to 25-30 families each year.
The community is expanding through both the Cultural Center and local partners to meet the needs of families and children on a greater scale each year.
Church partnerships in the U.S. are being added each year, and our involvement is deepening with each partner.
A vibrant child sponsorship program was initiated in 2016, with the goal that each child/grade being sponsored by 2025.
Financial support is growing as we engage our board, deepen our church partnerships, develop a systematic communication process, and expand relationships with those who have visited Jericho through tours and short-term trips.
