Overview
The SIFE mission is to bring together the top leaders of today and tomorrow to create a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business.
The University of Melbourne SIFE
We are a non-profit student organisation developing community projects to drive social change.
The University of Melbourne SIFE is the largest and most successful SIFE team in Australia - with 90 team members from eight faculties working across five ongoing projects. In July 2011, the team was named SIFE Australia National Champions.
Our purpose is threefold
- to improve the lives of others by strengthening communities
- to engage the business world in project partnerships
- to create a new generation of socially responsible business leaders.
Our projects target a broad range of issues such as environmental sustainability, employment for the socially disadvantaged, and, through our first international project, the development of a sustainable livelihood for small enterprises in the developing world.
