How will SDI Academy solve the problems??
Education
For teachers(Talented & Poor University students):
- Allow them to continue their studies despite being financially crippled. - Would be provided with necessary vocational courses such as English speaking courses, IELTS, Driving, IT courses, leadership courses etc. - Opportunities(Loan/scholarship) to pursue higher studies in the future.
For Students
- Equipped with academically necessary knowledge of international standards for admission into renowned universities in the future . - Learn necessary skills and knowledge ranging from agriculture to computer programming that are needed in their daily life as well as help SDI Academy to generate profit from their various commercial activities.
Hunger
SDI academy would have its own hi-tech farm that would consist of poultry farm and paddy field to produce food sufficient not only for its students and staff but also to sell them in the market and export them overseas.
We would also donate portion of our produce to the regions in Africa where the problem of hunger is most pertinent.
Lack of healthcare
SDI Academy would work with hospitals to donate blood for the patients from their students in exchange for free health checkup.
SDI academy would also work with Doctors w/o borders to set up mobile clinic and use its nursing students as medical assistant to provide affordable medical care for everyone.
Climate change
SDI Academy would partner with various logging companies to plant trees. The students and staff would be taking care of the plants and once the plants are ready to be cut, the logging company would sell it and the profits would be shared with SDI academy that would fund for future projects.
The students would work on Research & Development of devices and methods to reduce climate change.
would also campaign to raise awareness about climate change
To be able to do all that Successfully…
We require a huge start-up funding to kick-start the entire system of self-sustaining school.
We are currently working to provide quality services and products at an extremely affordable price so as to benefit a large community yet obtain a sizeable amount of revenue that would be channeled to the start-up fund.
That would only be possible with the kind help of people to sponsor us with the materials or resources required to minimize cost increase start-up fund
Current Projects
Services: Conversational English Course
Currently we are holding conversational English courses for a large number of Bangladeshi foreign workers who are living in Singapore, at the same time, at an extremely affordable price to generate start-up fund.
Our target from this project was $5000 However due to high cost incurred and lesser
participation than expected we only managed to raise $342 after 4 lessons and at this rate we would only be able to raise about $1000 after the entire course hence we require your kind support and understanding.
Upcoming Projects…
Products: Selling Affordable Stationeries
SDI Academy is planning to sell affordable quality stationeries i.e Pen bought directly from the producing countries to eliminate middle man cost so as to able to sell it at an extremely affordable price yet be able to generate profit to be able to channel it towards the start-up fund.
Currently we are liaising with Saint Andrew’s Village that comprises of St Andrew’s Junior school, St Andrew’s Secondary School as well as St Andrew’s Junior College with the total student population of about 5000 students to become our model for the project and we hope to be able to conduct our fund raising drive by March 2014.
Continuation…
Looking at our success model of St Andrew’s Village we then hope to be able to replicate this in all the other 18 Junior Colleges in Singapore by June 2014.
After that we hope to be able to replicate this into all the 151 Secondary Schools in Singapore.
And hopefully with the kind help, support and donations of everyone we would be able to start the construction of our SDI Self-Sustaining school campus in Bangladesh between December-March 2015.
Our Thoughts…
Providing the Bridge for everyone to be able to shine…
