Women’s Empowerment Program
Here at Seedpower we realize that in order to help children become strong in education and live successfully, we also have to strengthen the household and support the women of our communities. Seedpower is dedicated to reaching out to empower our local women with skills and knowledge that empower them in areas such as such as childcare, nutrition, basic health care, family planning , sexual health education, gender based violence, self esteem and healthy communication. Ruth Odero is instrumental in her hands on approach to education and empowerment.

A total of 1738 Special Need and ECDE Teachers , Social workers, Parents of Special Need children, Community Leaders and Community Based Organizations, selected across the 47 counties in Kenya, have been reached through this program.
Sustainable Food Project
The Sustainable Food Project is being put in place to provide our learners and SeedPower communities at large with the correct nutrition and also to equip them with hands-on agricultural skills through the creation of sustainable agriculture endeavors. Through this project, we are determined to expand the status of farming in our communities beyond the current level of subsistence farming.
The Sustainable Food Project is set to include the following:
Poultry farming, Aquaponics, Regenerative gardening, Dairy farming.
Deu 8:7 For Jehovah your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills.

Turkana has been for a long time in the History of Kenya overwhelmed with wars and conflicts, banditry, hunger, famine and drought. The conflict between Turkana and Pokot has led to lots of fear in the region and many children, women and men have lost their lives and properties. These conflicts have led to many deaths on a daily basis.
People in this region not only die from conflicts and wars but also due to lack of food, water and shelter. Most of them live in open houses made of sticks, leaves of a tree and mud.
Children don’t go to school due to these conflicts and some of them who get lucky enough to go get to walk for miles to reach a school.
It has been in our dream and prayer as SeedPower to reach out to Turkana in whichever way we could with clothes, food and other basic necessities. SeedPower was privileged in the past month to reach out to Turkana with dry food. We shared about our passion to reach out to Turkana and a few business guys gave us some support to carry out the outreach.
We carried out a four day outreach in 3 different places of Turkana namely: Lokichar, Lokapii and Kalong’iro. 680 families were reached out on this trip.
Our outreach comprised of distributing dry food in groups and door to door outreach with food, and sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ with them. Our group was accompanied by Pastor William, Pastor Elijah and Pastor Simon from Turkana.
This trip was very much successful and many lives were impacted.
So many women of our communities are left to care and provide for their children alone. It’s not unusual for a mother to not have access to basic birth control or education and resources to keep them healthy. She often has several children with little to no ability to care for them financially on her own. It’s our goal at SeedPower to teach women skills that can be used to provide for herself and her children and add to the stability in their household. Since the launch of our program, we have already begun teaching sewing skills, basket making, as well as other entrepreneurial endeavors to nearly 100 women.
One of the greatest advantages of having our women come together is generating a support system within. We have had an elderly woman who was in need of a house and the women of our group worked together with the help of a handful of men to build one from the ground up.
Together we are so much stronger!!
