Seeds for a Future Resources
From its inception, Seeds for a Future prioritized creating a food security and health education Program that's sustainable and replicable.
A long-term solution for lifting the current generation to new levels of health and wellness while laying the foundational seeds for the generations to come.
“Seeds for a Future provides the resources needed for creating food security and better health anywhere.”
Below, we’re sharing some background resources to demonstrate how the Program works for its participants and to assist others who desire to create a similar program.
The program provides rural citizens in Guatemala (and around the world) with the skills they need to take control of their lives and to live healthier, happier, and with more prosperity. If you have questions about any of our resources, please contact us.
