Seeds of Africa – Supporting Education in Zimbabwe


This past Monday was the Seeds of Africa Charity Date Auction event at the Manhattan Penthouse is Union Square. Guests enjoyed an open bar and passed hors d’oeuvres, watched the red carpet, and networked while waiting for the events planned for the evening to begin. Money from from ticket sales, a raffle, the art auction, and the date auction is being used in support of education in Zimbabwe and to build a school.

Seeds of Africa is a a nonprofit that provides educational resources to poor students in Zimbabwe. “[They] subscribe to the philosophy of “development through education.” – The philosophy that education is the most powerful and effective way to bring change, independence, innovation and prosperity. [They] believe in the power of education to end poverty, bring enlightenment and transform lives. ]They] are dedicated to gathering the resources and funds needed to achieve this goal. We believe that money should not be a hindrance to someone who is eager to get an education. [They] are dedicated to making sure that any student in Zimbabwe who deserves to go to school will get an opportunity to do so. Seeds of Africa Foundation does not just seek to help students afford school, but also help them succeed. In addition to financial support, [they] also provide students with guidance and mentorship they need to succeed.” – Seeds of Africa
