Reconnecting Children with the Natural World

Researchers note that, for most of human existence, children have spent much of their childhood in outdoor environments where they interacted with nature regularly. Today, we find that youth are less connected with nature than ever before, and with significant consequences to their understanding of
the world and their intellectual and developmental well-being. In fact, research by R.A. Wilson (1994) and D.A. Simmons (1994), based on personal interviews with groups of children varying in age from preschool to age nine, found that the attitudes children expressed towards various aspects of the
natural environment – such as rain, wildflowers, trees, and birds – included more expressions of fear and dislike than appreciation, caring or enjoyment.

The Seed of Life Foundation, currently has partnered over 100+ underprivileged schools in Africa to establish School Garden Project. We have trained over 10,000 community members in Mwingi, Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Nairobi, Mombasa, Uganda, Nigeria, and Tanzania. We have partnered with 100+ educational institutions plus orphanages to provide them hands-on education for selfsustained and empowering communities. 

​We cannot do alone, we need your help. Alhumdullillah, we have been doing this initiative for 2-3 years now, and now there is more schools that need for children to be natured educated, due to covid-19. Majority parents of these children have lost jobs.

Help us empower the communities to be self sufficient, instead of them relying on begging or donations. 

Your donations can help make huge difference and save lives.
