Our Story
SeedPower Foundation was founded and established by Peter and Beldon in the year 2019. It is a learning center that provides a tution-free Christian education for the vulnerable, children with special needs and those that are at risk in the Western part of Kenya.
Peter and Beldon Left their country Kenya in the year 2012 to go and work in Rwanda with the vulnerable and children with special needs. This also involved other community outreach activities in the communities where they worked. They encountered different challenges and humbling experiences in their work stations that equipped them with skills that would help them in their future career. They had a dream in 2015 to start a center that would serve in the same way so that they can also give back to their country Kenya. This dream was confirmed in 2016 when Peter and Beldon got in touch with Little Light House, a Christian Developmental Center in the USA for children with special needs. The experience impacted them and confirmed the call to serve in Kenya. Peter and Beldon have been interns at the Little Light house where they have continued to learn a lot of skills and ideas on how to work with children with special needs. SeedPower Foundation has continued to partner with LLH to impact communities in Kenya and in neighboring countries by providing assistance, awareness, training, education and resources in working with children with special needs.
This is our 5th year of operation. SeedPower now serves 258 vulnerable, children with special needs and those that are at risk in the Western Part of Kenya.
