S.E.E.D. was born out of the continued disadvantage and discrimination faced by people who are socially excluded. Studies have shown that such people underperform in multiple areas and experience fewer chances in life. S.E.E.D. wishes to address their exclusion through development and support activities from school age right up to adulthood, by providing access to Entrepreneurial Resources.
