#FirstSeed: A Sustainable Garden
Planting Hope: The #FirstSeed Campaign for Orphanage Sustainability
San Francisco, USA – The Foundation is proud to introduce Campaign 5: #FirstSeed, a vital initiative launched to bring sustainable gardening practices to selected orphanages in Myanmar. This campaign was born out of the desire to create lasting, self-sufficient food sources for vulnerable children, while promoting environmental education and healthy living. By equipping orphanages with tools, training, and support to grow their fruits and vegetables, the Foundation is planting the first seeds of change, literally and symbolically.
The #FirstSeed campaign goes beyond simple crop cultivation. It fosters a deeper connection between children and the land, encouraging hands-on learning and teaching essential life skills such as responsibility, patience, and teamwork. These gardens serve as living classrooms where children not only grow their meals but also grow in confidence and knowledge. Through partnerships with local agricultural experts and community volunteers, the campaign ensures that each participating orphanage receives personalized guidance and long-term support.
As the gardens begin to flourish, so does the sense of empowerment within each orphanage. The produce harvested helps reduce food insecurity and supports daily nourishment needs, while any surplus may be shared with nearby communities or used to fund additional programs. Through #FirstSeed, the Foundation reaffirms its commitment to uplifting orphaned children by nurturing body and spirit—one seed, one garden, one future at a time.
