Who We Are
Students for Education and Economic Development (SEED Inc) was incorporated in 2010 by Scott Muhammad and Erica Henry, who both serve as the co-directors of the organization. They have run organic agriculture camps for children since 2001 in Illinois and Alabama.

In addition to agricultural pursuits, Muhammad is also producing a documentary on the life of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable, the black founder of the city of Chicago.
Erica Henry is a journalist, photographer, teacher, business administrator, and project manager. She is board secretary of the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute in Selma, Alabama.
Fannie Grantham is an administrator at REACH, Inc. and a former schoolteacher.

Tools Needed for Summer Farm School
After two successful summers of agriculture education in Eutaw, Alabama, SEED will be expanding its Farm School to accommodate up to 100 students this summer. Each student will need a set of gardening tools. Your donation of $10 will purchase a set of hand tools and a pair of gloves for one child. Your donation of $30 will purchase a shovel, hoe and rake for one child. Your donation of $50 will supply all of the above plus a new Cobrahead cultivator for one child. Donate online through PayPal.
Buy a Tractor
Looking to help SEED in a big way? We need a sponsor to help us purchase a tractor with a two-row cultivator and other implements. Your gift of $5,000 will allow us to upgrade from hand-cultivation to machine cultivation … and would be very much appreciated. Donate online through PayPal.
