S.E.E.D of Hope
S.E.E.D stands for Social, Economical, and Environmental Development.
S.E.E.D of Hope is a branch project of Archangels Project.
Our primary goal is to equip, enlighten and empower orphaned children and at risk teens around the world with skills needed to pursue careers in wildlife conservation and hospitality.
Our humanitarian mission is to give opportunity to at risk teens and impoverished youth. We want to give them hope for their future, and the future of wildlife, by equipping them with experience and skills in wildlife conservation. We believe that the conservation industry offers a life of abundance and hope, giving honest individuals the chance to lift themselves up, provide for their families, and take part in establishing a future for their entire country’s wildlife.
We aim to partner with other non profits and small businesses who share our values. By doing so, we can expand the knowledge and experiences we can give the children.
Donations to Archangels Project will allow orphan children and/or at risk youths, accompanied by guardians, to go on guided excursions to otherwise unaffordable areas of the country where we would be working. Areas would include game reserves, nature parks, sanctuaries, marine parks, and eco friendly farms. The children will be participating throughout the whole excursion and will be taught a variety skills depending on their area of interest and the area of our visitation. All with the goal of giving the youths a great time but also a lasting experience, and most importantly knowledge for their future careers.
The multitude of skills the children would be learning would include, but not be limited to, wildlife tracking, guiding, photography, vehicle mechanics, creative small business, animal caretaking, anti poaching, game reserve management, reserve maintenance, hospitality, and gardening. All experience in these areas will give the kids a higher chance in future careers in their country, especially for those who cannot afford to go to university.
But for some, our goal is to pay for their further education. Depending on their interest, they would be given paid schooling or training in the area of interest, (e.g Field Guide Association of Southern Africa, Trade Schools, Tracker School, internships , etc.)
