Seeds Of Hope
Just a small bag of seed can bring change and give hope...
Through the Seeds of Hope Program Integrity Worldwide is taking steps to relieve the pain and suffering many people around the world experience, as a result of starvation and malnutrition. We believe we can all be "active" in the sowing of seeds to combat the devastating problems caused by food shortages and lack of basic nutrition.
In Kenya and Uganda we supply families and communities with rice seed, maize, and beans. The benefits for the people that receive seeds are of big impact. Families and communities:
- Have sufficient food to eat
- Establish their own small business
- Provide income for their families
- Become self-sustaining
Statistics about the world hunger problem

- It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition.
