Traveling through Africa, I met community leaders, chiefs, parents, elders, women, and young visionaries who carried powerful ideas for strengthening their communities – ideas that could uplift women, protect children, improve public health, and build resilience to combat climate change. Yet again, and again, every conservation uncovered the same barrier to improvement: funding. When asked what it would take to bring their visions to life, I often heard numbers equivalent to $2,500 or $5,000 – an amount so small in comparison to the magnitude of impact it could make – yet out of reach. I remember thinking, you can do all of this for just $5,000? and wishing I could simply give it to them. The need was small, but the difference it could make was enormous. That realization stayed with me. Later during a conversation with my children about what I would do if I ever won the lottery, I told them I’d use 20% to take care of our family and give the other 80% away to people around the world who needed it more—because giving is a calling, and because God said So(w). That belief, paired with years of witnessing unmet potential in communities across the globe, planted the seed for what is now Seed Change Collective—a movement rooted in connection, generosity, and the truth that even the smallest contributions can grow into life-changing impact.
