​FRIENDS AROUND THE GLOBE


food and supplies

To do great work, you need tools. Classrooms school supplies and books. Empty stomachs hurt. They break concentration and make the future seem impossible. Providing food and water is essential part of health.

Education

An education can change a life! Maasai girls are frequently forced into marriage by the age of 14. Our goal is to give children an opportunity to go to school by providing things like uniforms and school fees from elementary school through high school.

GRAYSON WARREN BROWN

MENTOR, COMPOSER, INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER AND AUTHOR

​I met Grayson when he came to Sts. Peter and Paul, my home parish in Manorville NY in 2006. He spoke to us about being Christ for one another and then told us that he brought choirs to Tanzania. I had an opportunity to join him and his choir on a mission trip to share hope and our love of Christ through music with our brothers and sisters in Tanzania. Grayson created an opportunity for me that changed the course of my life. Without Grayson there would be no Seeds of Hope Tanzania. It was his devotion to God's people and his spirit filled life that encouraged me  to create this charity. He has been at the center of it from the very beginning and I will be forever grateful to him. Grayson went home to God  on July 2, 2023 and, while we are all saddened by his passing, we remember him as a gift from God who chose to use his life in service to God and his people in order to offer hope. What better way to live your life?

Would you like to join us on our next humanitarian trip to Tanzania? Keep checking the website for updates. In the meantime here are a few photos from our most recent trip.

​This summer we worked on improvements at St. Rose academy. We finished a larger bathroom to serve our student population of over 90 students. We improved the safety of the school by fencing in the area, leveling the ground around the school and building walkways. Our multipurpose room will be the project inn the fall of 2024. Without our donors generosity we could not have accomplished these necessary changes for the good of our students!

Give hope to those who need it most!
