SIFE is an international non-profit organization preparing the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders to create a better world for everyone.
SIFE creates global partnership between business and higher education that prepare university students to make a meaningful contribution toward a better world as entrepreneurs and business leaders by challenging them to address real world business and economic issues in their communities.
More than 42,000 students participate in SIFE. They represent 1,500 universities in more than 39 countries.
SIFE students leverage their classroom experience, the expertise of their faculty advisor and business advisory board, and the resources of their university to develop projects that empower people to live better lives.
Their projects address a variety of topics, such as market economics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, personal success skills, environmental sustainability and business ethics. Rather than mandating a uniform set of projects, teams are encouraged to work within the framework of these topics while adapting their approach to the diverse needs of people in different communities. They help aspiring entrepreneurs achieve success, equip the unemployed with skills to find productive employment, teach families how to gain financial security, and bring economic development to struggling neighborhoods.
As those students succeed in helping others, they develop stronger business and leadership skills as well as commitment to the community and the world around them. The students catch a glimpse of the true scope of their personal potential.
The effectiveness of each SIFE program is judged at competition. Once a year, SIFE Egypt conducts a National Competition. SIFE students present the results of their educational outreach projects and judges select the winner based on who has the most impact in educating others. The winner will advance to highest level of competition and represent Egypt at SIFE World Cup.
