would be the current University student
in the third world countries who are
talented yet unable to support
themselves and are in need of financial
aid.

in the third world counties who
would otherwise go illiterate and
be exploited for child labour in
harsh conditions.

on how to use Khan Academy’s tools effectively.

11. How will SDI
Academy solve the
problems??

12. 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.

13. - 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.

14. 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.

15. Lack of healthcare
 SDI Academy would work with hospitals to receive
free health checkup for our students and our
students would also donate blood regularly for the
patients to reduce the scarcity of rare blood type in
the blood bank.
 SDI academy would also work with Doctors w/o
borders to set up mobile clinics and use its nursing
students as medical assistant to provide affordable
medical care for everyone and cater to a large
number of patients across the country.

16. 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 the
environmental damages.
 would also campaign to raise awareness about
climate change.

17. 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 on in providing quality
services and products at an extremely affordable
prices so as to benefit a large community yet obtain a
sizeable amount of revenue that can be channeled to
the start-up fund for our very own campus.
 That would only be possible with the kind help of
sponsors who would provide us with the materials or
resources required in order to minimize cost 
increase start-up fund.

18. Current Projects

19. 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.
 We hope to be able to expand this program for all the
different nationals, living in Singapore, who possess
limited command in English and with the help of The
United Nations and other relevant organizations, we
would be able to engage most of the expats residing in
Singapore to provide our service and hence benefit them
with our affordable quality services while at the same
time also generate revenues to fund our project in the
third world countries

20. Upcoming
Projects…

21. 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 startup fund.
 Currently we are in the process of 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.

22. 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 first SDI Self-Sustaining school
campus in Bangladesh between December 2014March 2015.

23. Why Bangladesh?
 Bangladesh would be our very first model country for
the testing ground of this project as Bangladesh has
one of the lowest literacy rates in South Asia.
 Another advantage of starting our project from
Bangladesh would be that Bengali is one of the
languages that Khan Academy’s lessons are available
in. So we would require minimum effort with their
teaching resources.

24. Our Thoughts…
Providing the Bridge
for everyone to be able
to shine…

25. Our Hope for the Future…
 We believe that following this model of self-
sustaining educational system in all the Third world
countries in future with the collaboration of the UN,
we would successfully be able to eradicate poverty
along with all the pressing concerns of the world that
we face today.
 We hope that if United Nations along with other
good will investors can join us in our effort to
eliminate poverty then we will be able to accomplish
our goals within a decade.
