Hello and Welcome!
Annie Lee, CEO
"When we change, the world around us changes."
It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you to the Seeds4Hope family as you embark on this empowering journey. This program is a space where your growth, voice, and vision are deeply valued, and where we work together to create meaningful impact.
In today’s world, true leadership isn’t about being at the top, holding power over others, or striving alone. Instead, it’s about collaboration, co-creating shared visions, and lifting one another up. True leadership thrives when we celebrate our differences, support each other, and embrace the strength that comes from being allies.
At Seeds4Hope, we model and promote co-creation, collaboration, and open communication. We focus on celebrating every achievement as a collective success, without comparison or competition. As rising leaders, you will be part of building a vibrant community that empowers each of you to lead with confidence, compassion, and purpose.
Together, we will shape the future by helping one another grow into the leaders that your communities and countries need. Welcome to this exciting chapter, and thank you for being a vital part of this collective impact journey with us.
We can’t wait to see what you will accomplish!
Seeds4Hope was born out of a deep commitment to addressing critical social issues in Southeast Asia, initially as the "Vivncaus Mentoring Program" under the Givers of Dreams Organization. Our journey began with a clear focus: to combat early and forced marriages and empower young women in the region. Our initial goal was straightforward yet profound—to mentor these young women, helping them uncover their potential and pursue their dreams.
As we began working with a small group of 25 young women, we were struck by their remarkable resilience and ambition. This initial engagement quickly expanded as word spread, growing to 50 participants, then 75, and eventually encompassing 91 dedicated young leaders. Their growth and the positive impact of our efforts inspired a group of nine committed mentors to take a bold step: we established Seeds4Hope as an independent nonprofit organization.
