Hello Friends! Do You Guys Know About SIFE?
I just took some information from the website and like your school, your country to be involved in teaching and impacting your communities through entrepreneurship and leadership. SIFE is a global non-profit organization active in more than 40 countries. SIFE is funded by financial contributions from corporations, entrepreneurs, foundations, government agencies and individuals. Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE establishes student teams on university campuses. These teams are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop community outreach projects that reach SIFE's five educational topics:
• Market Economics
• Success Skills
• Entrepreneurship
• Financial Literacy
• Business Ethics
SIFE team members leverage their personal educational experiences, the expertise of their faculty advisors, the support of their local business advisory boards, and the resources of their institutions to implement programs that create real economic opportunities for members of their communities. The effectiveness of their programs is judged at competition. Each national SIFE organization conducts a national competition, which is judged by leaders from its business community. At competition, SIFE teams present the results of their educational outreach projects and compete to determine which team was most successful at creating economic opportunity for others. SIFE National Champion teams advance to the top level of competition, the SIFE World Cup.
Australia
Curtin University of Technology
Curtin SIFE developed "Entrepreneur's Challenge," a competition to design innovative products and services to fill a market need.

China
Shanghai International Studies University
SIFE SISU spent more than 2,000 hours implementing "Rainbow over the Fields" in the rural villages of Yancheng, Yixing and Chengde. The project assisted impoverished Chinese farmers by providing direct access to education and basic resources. Farmers were provided seeds and other supplies, and they learned supply and demand, efficient use of resources, new agriculture methods, and how to search the Internet for information. One farmer, Zhang Danong, said, "Through your program, I really broadened my view... to earn a brighter future for my family!"

Russia
Russian State Pedagogical University - St. Petersburg
In an effort to increase small business start-ups in Russia, this SIFE Team organized ten workshops to teach basic knowledge of creating and running a successful company. Seminars were led by students already experience in business, and the nearly 70 university participants enjoyed the innovative peer-to-peer format. Thinking that "if they can do it, I can do it," 11 students decided to start their own businesses and received personal assistance from the SIFE Team.

Morocco
Institut des Hautes Etudes de Management - Casablanca (HEM)
HEM SIFE brought a lucrative industry to a struggling community. Through research, Morocco SIFE discovered that the village of Oulad Bouziri had an abundance of snails, but the community's efforts to market escargot were unstructured and it was one of the country's poorest regions. The team created a snail farming cooperative in the village. They formed a business plan, secured a facility to house the snails, introduced snail breeding and developed a website to increase national and international orders.
