SEEDS Annual Report 19-20
As we enter a new decade, SEEDS has been evolving its strategic direction for 2030. Building on our work over the last 25 years, we seek to serve the bottom 1% of those most vulnerable to climate emergencies. To carry out this urgent task, we realise we cannot do it alone. In the last one year, SEEDS has invested in building partnerships with Government, expert institutions and grassroots organisations across the country aligned to our shared objective. The challenges only grow increasingly vast. As this year draws to a close, we face the danger of COVID-19; a national lockdown; and the imperative to swiftly pivot our programmes to continue serving those most in need.

Local Leadership for Disaster Resilience – Profiles from Asia and the Pacific
As disaster risks are growing more intense, complex, and unpredictable, it calls for a new approach to resilience building and planning. This is a challenge that cannot be addressed by formal institutions alone. Local leaders often possess the capacity to innovate and have a strong understanding of local systems, politics, and culture.
Celebrating Resilience

OUR WORK
Building resilient communities through a holistic and inclusive approach
Humanitarian Response
When disasters strike, we reach out to those who go unseen. Each response is unique and tailored to ground realities. It’s about saving lives and minimising the impact of secondary disasters.
Building Back Better
Every rebuilding effort is an effort to leave behind new capacity and skills, not just safer buildings. We focus on homes, schools and community infrastructure; and their surrounding ecosystems.
Reducing Future Risk
Disasters are morphing and new risks are emerging. How do you reduce the impact of the next big emergency (or multiple smaller ones)? We work with communities to plan, build response capacity, mitigate daily risks, and adapt to climate change impacts.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Our work over the years has reached a broad cross-section of people. We’ve sparked hope through innovative buildings, nature-based solutions, new skills and children’s smiles across India and Nepal. Some of our outreach includes the following.
Children Reached
Schools Reached
Houses built
