Education is not
only essential to the creation of democracies, it is essential to development, and in particular to what we today call "sustainable
development." Everyone knows by now that the hierarchy of human needs dictates that someone who is hungry and has a family
to feed is not going to think of protecting the environment first. Because of this, much environmental destruction has been
caused by the subsistence farming of poor families throughout the developing world. To reverse this phenomenon, concerted
efforts to meet the basic needs of poor families, as well as strong programs of education that are capable of instilling a
long-term vision and teaching the responsible use of resources, will be indispensable.
Keeping
in view the dire need of the hour and The Importance of Education for Development, SEAP-Pakistan emerged as a not for profit
organization with determination to work for the educational needs of the Masses and Community Institutions in order to empower
the poor and marginalized communities without any discrimination of caste, creed or faith in Pakistan.
