The SEEDS Trust (Schooling, Education and Empowerment, Developments) is a registered South African NPO and PBO founded in 1999 by Marlena & Johann von der Walt, members of the Vineyard Christian Church in Hout Bay. They started by encouraging church members to begin caring for toddlers of parents while they were at or seeking work.
The main project of The SEEDS Trust is 'Little Lambs Christian Daycare' which offers basic care, nutrition and preschool education for children living in the informal settlement Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay. They are registered with Social Development and qualify for Social and Educational Grants. Please find more information here: www.littlelambs.org.za and www.facebook.com/lambsdaycare .
The latest initiative of the SEEDS Trust is to upgrade and build a whole new school building for the Ark Angels Educare centre that will provide the same opportunities for the children of that neighbourhood that Little Lambs currently provide.
