SEEDS OF HOPE CHILDREN'S OUTREACH
SAVING LIVES THROUGH VOCATION
SAVING LIVES THROUGH VOCATION
Seeds of Hope is a ministry serving teenage street children in Kenya. Our mission is to build and support the development of a self-sustaining residential vocational school which will provide occupational skills training allowing these young adults to become employed, contributing members of their community.
Lift our men up in prayer as they harvest the fields and prepare for the building of the workshop.

WHAT ARE WE DOING NEXT?
As we move forward to the next phase of the Vocational Center’s development, we are looking to create a safe, better-equipped training environment which will allow for additional trades to be offered. To accomplish this, we will be constructing a multi-purpose workshop providing improved teaching that is not limited to the current outdoor, fair weather, daytime-only activities. The planned facility is expected to provide workshop space to accommodate welding, plumbing, electrical and carpentry, as well as classrooms and storage.
The facility is planned as a 1,700 sq. ft. structure with an anticipated cost of less than $40,000. With donations and pledges received to date, we are 76% of the way to meeting our goal. With a dollar-for dollar MATCHING PLEDGE we have received, every dollar donated provides double the impact.
This is an exciting time for all of us at the Seeds of Hope Vocational Centre. Thank you for your participation.

DAVID KARIUKI -Founder and Director of Operations
David Kariuki will be leading our life changing efforts on the ground in Kenya.
David has previously acted as the director of Tumaini Children’s Home. David
lived the experiences of these children as a youth, but has gone on to earn his
Masters in Counseling Psychology.
There are over 300,000 homeless street children in Kenya – mostly teens with
very little, if any, education, no homes, family, means of support, nor hope.
These kids have little hope to “catch up” in an academic environment as many
have not attended school and would be relegated to a grade level untenable
to the other students and faculty. So they get lost in the system, get into drugs
and crime, live on the streets, and die prematurely.
But we can do something about it – based upon the successful model
established by Charles Mully in Kenya nearly 30 years ago. The model is to
teach vocations, not elementary education, to this group of forgotten teens,
including farming, masonry, cabinetry, carpentry, sewing, welding, and
custodial. David grew up in this environment, survived and thrived and is now
heading our mission in Kenya. Come be a part of his story of redemption, hope and faith!
Seeds of Hope is dedicated to seeing his vision come to pass.
