The Seeds for Progress Foundation improves access to high-quality education, a basic human right that contributes to social development and sustainable economic growth by creating opportunities to advance the quality of life for students, teachers and their families in the rural communities of Nicaragua’s coffee-growing regions.
Since 2009, alongside the University of Pennsylvania (PennGSE), we developed the Digital Seeds Program. Digital Seeds is a program that is constantly being built and rebuilt, with each school and community adapting it to its particular conditions and circumstances. The Program’s design facilitates pedagogical growth and innovation, the development of critical thinking, and sustainable development.
We promote strategic alliances at the local and international levels among educational stakeholders and with multiple actors along the coffee chain.
The Seeds for Progress Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in Nicaragua and in the United States as a 501(c) (3).
