Seeds of Growth is a project based in St Leonards-on-Sea and Hastings, raising funds to help the people of Birahimpur, Bangladesh with emergency supplies and longer term projects. Seeds of Growth has grown out of the work of one Birahimpur man, who now lives in Hastings, and who has personally been helping the village for the past 18 years. The aim of Seeds of Growth is to continue and expand the work begun by him by providing emergency aid and long-term support directly to the villagers of Birahimpur. This involves a yearly project which provides villagers with clean water, sanitation, ongoing roof and housing repairs, rebuilding houses, along with other small projects such as paying school fees, providing educational material particularly to non-government schools, and working to help children with disabilities. Seeds of Growth is often recruiting volunteers in the Hastings and St Leonards area, East Sussex.
