PASSIONATE - ENERGETIC - CONFIDENT SIFERS OF SIFE UUM are:

University students, aided by a faculty advisor, form SIFE teams to undertake community service projects. The projects are based on the principles of economics, enterprise and entrepreneurship. The teams design and implement their own projects, and they select the communities in which they conduct their projects – local, regional, national, or global. How does SIFE work ?

Each year, teams present their projects in a National Competition, which is judged by business leaders. The judges select the team which has had the most impact. The National Champions represent their country at the SIFE World Cup, presenting to a panel of CEO’s from global corporations. How does SIFE work ?

Aim: “ To mobilize university students to create economic opportunity for others in their communities, and to develop their own leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching the principles of economics, enterprise, entrepreneurship & ethics.” Why Projects ?

Philosophies Teaching: “ Tell me and I will forget; show me and I might remember; involve me and I will learn.” Learning by doing for students! Community Service: “ Give me a fish and I’ll eat for a day; teach me to fish, and I’ll eat for a lifetime.” Learning by doing for the community!

SIFE projects address the Cause of the problem, not the problem itself. Problem : unemployed people are hungry Social solution : give them food SIFE solution : give them skills! What is a SIFE project?
