SEED Program

About SEED

World Vision, with the help of generous Filipinos, can now support enterprise development or small-scale entrepreneurship in an accessible, convenient and effective way.

By providing financial and training services to impoverished men and women and empowering tm to work their own way out of poverty, World Vision Socio-Economic Empowerment & Development (SEED) Program aims to invest in the lives of poor families and communities towards economic sustainability.

World Vision’s SEED Program is the solution that will strengthen the need for sustainable socio-economic empowerment and development among the families and communities it serves.

World Vision’s SEED Program funds economic development initiatives that offer support, tools and training to empower families and communities to work their way out of poverty, from dependence on aid to financial self-sustainability.


Objectives

To help very poor households meet basic needs by providing an opportunity to start or improve a small-scale enterprise for their household economic welfare, stability and growth.

  1. To reduce vulnerability and increase earnings and savings by allowing poor households to make the transformation from “every-day-survival” to “planning-for-the-future.”
  2. To promote and give more opportunity to women’s economic participation, micro finance helps to empower women, thus promoting gender-equity and improving household well-being.
  3. To give hardworking people the opportunity to move from dependence on aid to financial self-sustainability — empowering them to change their own lives and the lives of their children.
  4. To engage more individuals, groups and organizations to become involved in helping poor families change their lives, thus contribute to nation-building which is a collective responsibility of every Filipino.
