In the last few years we have brought direct relief and development to several areas of Zambia, including providing clean water to hundreds of thousands of people.  For our latest numbers, please see the SHIP fact sheet. The World Health Organization states that by providing clean water to an area, the basic level of health in a community can be raised by 15-20% and by hygiene and sanitation training it can be raised 20-25%. However, when combining clean water with hygiene and sanitation a community’s basic level of health can be increased up to 85%. Seeds of Hope enters communities with a holistic approach, bringing training in multiple areas. More than just clean water, we seek to introduce numerous tools that together will help communities implement sustainable change. This is the heart and vision of SHIP, to change communities, by bringing health, hope and a future back to the people.

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
