About Seeds of Hope (SHIP):
Seeds of Hope is a non-profit organization founded in Arroyo Grande, California that works in several communities within Zambia. Zambikes partners with Seeds of Hope within Zambia.
The purpose of Seeds of Hope is to train individuals in both spiritual and practical ways to go to the nations with tools that will bring hope and healing to those they care for. In Zambia, SHIP staff members drill wells, repair wells, produce bio-send filters and conduct hygiene and sanitation trainings.
The World Health Organization states that by providing clean water to an area the basic level of health in a community can be increased by 15-20%. By providing hygiene and sanitation training the level of health can increase 20-25%. But, when combining both clean water and hygiene and sanitation training, a community’s basic level of health can be increased up to 85%.
Seeds of Hope enters communities through a holistic approach by providing training in multiple areas. More than just providing clean water, they seek to introduce numerous tools that 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.
