Seed Effect

 

 

Seed Effect (n.): The effect rendered when one seed is planted causing it to grow, bear fruit and in turn, produce more seeds.


Seed Effect is a non-profit, ‘Credit with Education’ microfinance initiative powered by e3 Partners. Our mission is to plant the seeds that overcome physical and spiritual poverty by providing access to microloans, education and spiritual discipleship in marginalized communities around the world.  Seed Effecthas launched our first site at e3 Sudan's headquarters in Kajo Keji, South Sudan. 


Seed Effect is an agent of change. It starts with a life. It impacts a family. It transforms a community. Seed Effect is a modest force that generates a significant effect. You invest with us, and together we plant the seeds that overcome poverty. We issue a seed loan to a struggling entrepreneur. They invest in their business. along the way, we promote community, accountability, education, stewardship, and truth. Now they can provide food, clean water, school fees and health care for their family. With the interest earned we issue another seed loan to another entrepreneur. The effect continues. The effect multiplies.

Together we can plant a seed. Join us?

Be a part of the seed effect.
