Who We Serve
Seeds of Strength serves teenage girls and young women between the ages of 13 and 19 who are pregnant or parenting. The organization prioritizes those facing housing instability, limited support systems, and socioeconomic challenges, ensuring that every young mother has access to the care and resources she needs.
Our Story
Seeds of Strength was founded by Diannoria Gatlin, a military veteran, entrepreneur, and former teenage mother who understands firsthand the challenges of raising a child at a young age. Her journey of resilience, education, and leadership inspired the creation of this organization to provide the support, dignity, and opportunities she once needed.
