About Us

SIFE stands for Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE). The aim of Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) NMMU is that students apply their classroom experiences to develop and implement educational outreach programs that teach individuals in their communities the principles of market economics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, environmental sustainability, business ethics and how to become successful in life.

The challenge to SIFE teams is not simply to inform, but to empower – to help their targeted audiences reach their full potential through a better understanding of the principles of free enterprise. As an NMMU SIFE team we wish to improve the quality of life and standard of living for members of their communities.

As the NMMU Chapter of SIFE we have tailored an overarching program to meet these identified skill sets required to shape individuals to have a positive influence within their communities. This program has been titled Destined For Success or DFS for short.
