The British Council and SEED Ventures have partnered to work together for building the capacity of the youth in Balochistan and creating a new breed of entrepreneurs and leaders, says a press release.

This promising partnership between the two entities is initiating programmes in parallel that would be working on ground with members of the community as well as creating the foundation of large-scale programmes to be implemented in the near future.

Robin Davies, British Council Director, Sindh & Balochistan, said on this occasion: “I am delighted that we are working closely with SEED Ventures on this opportunity to inspire and build the capacity of members of the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders in Balochistan.”

SEED Ventures Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder Faraz Khan, a UK based Pakistani social entrepreneur and investor, commented that it is the collective efforts of organisations like the British Council and SEED Ventures that would inculcate the seeds of entrepreneurship in members of the society across all geographical boundaries. He further expressed the need to create leaders who follow their own paths changing lives and leaving their mark. 

Director & Co-Founder SEED Ventures Khusro Ansari remarked; "the development of atmosphere conducive to higher education, economic growth and entrepreneurial endeavours leading towards an enhanced economy and livelihood creation is imperative. He continued by saying that the doors of opportunity should be open to all including the marginalised communities and that the programme in Balochistan with the British Council aims to achieve that through structured programmes in the province".
