MARTIN GANDA
President/Co-Founder
Martin Ganda is the helmsman of Seeds of Africa Fund.
Only a few years ago I so happened to be one of Africa’s underprivileged children, unable to go to school until an American pen pal, Caitlin, fortuitously financed my education using earnings from her babysitting job. Today I live in New York and have been very fortunate to work and connect with people that I never dreamt of, thanks to Caitlin whose investment in my education tremendously transformed my entire life.I understand that education has been the key to much of my life, and have always wanted to find a way to create similar educational opportunities for young students from poor families in Zimbabwe. Simba and I finally came up with a way to do so on a large scale when we founded the Seeds of Africa Fund in 2007, which financially supports poor students in Zimbabwe by providing them with the means to attend school.
A few dollars from Caitlin’s babysitting job saved me from drowning in the pool of poverty that I was destined to die in. Through Caitlin’s help, I was able to finish my education. I hope you join us in transforming the lives of students in Zimbabwe who cannot afford education by investing in Seeds of Africa Fund.
