Cultivating Lasting Connections with Donors for sustainable impact
About Seeds NGO
Seeds NGO is a visionary nonprofit organization founded by a passionate couple committed to driving positive change in rural Uganda. Seeds NGO focuses on micro-finance projects that empower women through Village Saving Groups, providing financial resources and technical support to elevate living conditions for the beneficiaries and their families.
Challenge 1: Limited Financial Resources
The scarcity of financial resources affected their capacity to carry out essential projects and initiatives. Some projects had to be delayed until funding became available. Expanding their services to communities in need of support was also demanding, as they faced difficulties in assisting everyone simultaneously.
Challenge 2 : Communication Across Continents And Cultures
Seeds’ impactful work spanned continents and diverse cultures, presenting communication challenges in coordinating internal and external messages effectively. Different regions faced varying technological infrastructures, making it difficult to maintain a seamless flow of communication.
challenge 3 : Donor engagement & retention
Seeds recognized that its donor engagement is critical to expanding its project outreach. Building personal relationships with donors is critical to ensure sustainable funding and develop new projects for a long-lasting impact.
