RabbitSeed USA
Planting seeds of the Gospel in Uganda
how it started
In 2016 God used rabbit rearing to connect our founder, Christina Upchurch, with a small village in Kampala, Uganda. Through a series of miracles in 2023 Christina and our board chairperson, Carly, ended up on a mission in that very same village, astounded to see with their own eyes the wonders that God is performing.
We don't know why God chose our families to bear witness to everything He's doing through RabbitSeed Uganda, but we're so thankful He did and we're willing and ready for whatever He has planned.
RabbitSeed USA was founded to support and partner with the grass roots Ugandan ministries that are already making great strides within their communities.
Our activities are guided by our Seed Initiatives: Seeds of Discipleship, Seeds of Education, Seeds of Life Skills, Seeds of Relief, and Seeds of Living Hope. We anticipate that these “Seeds” will have some immediate, some long term, and some eternal impact.

Did you know?
Only 5% of males and 3% of females finished secondary or higher education
83 % of Ugandan 10-year-olds cannot read or understand a simple text by the end of primary school.
A child born in Uganda today will be 38 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health
Under educated Ugandan women have almost twice as many children as their counterparts, perpetuating and compounding the cycle of generational poverty.
