ABOUT US
Society for the Advancement of
Education (SAHE) |
"All Pakistani children not only have
the right to go to school but an equal
right to get quality education"
The Society for the Advancement of Education
(SAHE)
is a not- for-profit, non-governmental
organization established in 1982 by a group
of concerned citizens and academics to
respond to the deteriorating standards of
education. SAHE is one of the first NGOs to
focus on the cause of accessible quality
education for the disadvantaged in Pakistan
and through its pioneering work has played a
pivotal role in the civil society movement.
Our charter is based on the need for an
educated and enlightened youth, aware of its
roots, and conscious of its potential,
thereby, helping produce a cadre that could
define the ideals that society needs to
pursue.
We have extensive experience and expertise
in implementing indigenous models of human
resource development through strong
networking relationships with NGOs and
institutions of higher learning, and of
associating with well-known researchers and
teachers
We have collaborated with local NGOs in
different districts and provinces for
providing training to both government and
NGO teachers/staff to ensure the involvement
of local organizations and to contribute to
the development of sustainable networks and
structures.
