Our History

Seeds Foundation has initially been operating informally since 1994. It started its work by establishing a school called Capital Public School from nursery level to secondary school level. The aim was to establish a school to educate and facilitate children from deprived and poor backgrounds. The school is based in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan in the city of Muzaffarabad. Educational Empowerment is still progressing across the world; therefore we aim to equip the new generation so they are able to face future challenges and advance their skills and knowledge to further progress in the workforce in various professions.

Seeds Foundation has been active in Pakistan since the terrible Earthquake in Pakistan in 2005.

The earthquake led to the destructions of many towns and cities where over 120,000 people were trapped and killed in the collapsed building. As a result of this, it left around 3 million people homeless. Muzaffarabad City was severely affected. Nearly 90% of schools, hospitals, roads, and infrastructure had been destroyed.

Half a million school children were affected and resumed their education in shelters. After the earthquake, Seeds Foundation has supported more than 20,000 children by providing free education, uniforms, course books and free medical facilities. We are continuously supporting the orphans and the needy children through sponsorships until now. We empower hundreds of children into employment, education and support the deprived and poor communities in the region.

Our Mission


To empower people from disadvantaged communities through education and skills

At Seeds Foundation we believe that no-one young or old should be a victim of such circumstances. Our mission is to equip the young children not only with education but skills as well so, after completion of their education they can play an active role in the society. Due to this, the school strives to provide the students with the knowledge and skills to enable them to better themselves in the society and have better lives. Seeds Foundation empower people from disadvantaged communities, through education and training.

At Seeds Foundation, we educate the disadvantaged people and give them a hope for a better future through the skills and knowledge our beneficiaries gain from our different projects.

Our aim is to support adults and young people to raise their achievement level in different areas of life without discrimination. This support would further boost the self-esteem and confidence of our learners to improve their employment and further educational prospects.
