Our vision is to bring hope and life to Zambia is through establishing Resource Centers where we can help equip the Zambians in critical development areas. Our mission is to be a channel of God’s love for His people by sharing the Word, addressing the needs of the people, and training leaders in the community. Through each training module, we seek to be a model of practical resources, demonstrating their use in the community so that the people can see these insights/teaching/technologies in action, learn how they work, and then become trainers themselves to their communities.  The trainings are specifically tailored to reach into communities through training leaders, teachers and care givers – people who already have an established relationship for sharing knowledge with those in their communities.

We have specifically made the Resource Center with a multifaceted approach, giving tools to address every critical need in a community. If a community is only helped in one area, it can very easily be overwhelmed and lose all the benefit from that investment due to the pressure of another pressing need. On the other hand, if one area is improved in a community and hope is established, then change will come more easily in subsequent areas. The good that has been begun can be built upon. The downward cycle of poverty can be stopped and then reversed until the community is growing and healthy. We are offering communities help in several areas so that they can choose the assistance that they most critically need, and then build upon that success with continuing improvements in other areas.  This will give them the tools to develop a healthy community and sustainable development.

We have already established several modules of the training center with our work in Zambia. We are looking to establish further projects that can complete the total community resource training center. Each training will bring communities one step closer to the long term sustainable development and hope-filled life that is the goal of Seeds of Hope International Partnerships. These efforts are being made so that once successful; this resource center/community development plan can be duplicated throughout Zambia and hopefully other regions in Africa.
