Default Donating seeds to charity

Hi
I'm looking to donate some flower and vegetable seeds to charities,
for possible use in Africa or wherever these seeds go to once they're
given to charity.


Anybody know of such a charity which accepts seeds to give to other
people, particularly 3rd world countries.


Thanks in advance.
Mike


Nice idea, but most organisations seem to prefer money instead of seeds....
they can then buy in bulk.

But I did find this one:http://www.kokopelli-seed-foundation...donations.html

Hi Jenny
I did actually come across this site before I posted my message in
this group and just couldn't figure out what they really wanted. Their
Seeds for Life programme, imo, isn't outlined very well to receive
such donations. and having read it again a bit more thoroghly, I'm
still none the wiser.

Now, I did come across this website http://wintersown.org/wseo1/Seed_Donations.html
which seems to be exactly what I was looking for, but it's in America.
I was really looking for something closer to home, so I'm hoping that
someone may know of some organsiation out there that fits the bill.
BTW, I have looked on the net and I just simply can't find anything in
good ol' (very wet) Blighty.
