The Globe and Mail: Building a solid foundation: "
In all, six SEDI Awards were handed out Thursday to inspiring Canadians who have displayed unwavering resolve in overcoming adverse situations such as poverty, unemployment, disability and damaging home environments to realize their ambition of self-sufficiency and success.
'Instead of becoming another negative statistics, these six outstanding citizens turned their lives into success stories,' says Founding Executive Director of SEDI, Peter Nares. 'They overcame exceptional social, economic and personal barriers and are now thriving. They're truly an inspiration to all Canadians.'
SEDI is a national charitable organization that uses innovation as well as community and corporate partners to develop, test and promote new ideas which help poor, unemployed and low-income earners to become self-sufficient.
Over the past 10 years, SEDI's self-employment projects alone have generated over $150-million in business revenues and created 1,900 new jobs for the economy.
SEDI initiatives have also helped over 16,000 people overcome adversity to achieve success. The learn$ave project to date, for example, has helped over 3,600 people accumulate more than $3-million in savings for post-secondary education, job retraining and small business start-up."
