Social and Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI) is a Canadian nonprofit organization that helps people gain financial independence through financial literacy, asset building, and entrepreneurship.
This video features a man who describes how he used to spend money to feel better about himself, eventually running up large debts on his credit cards. He also began abusing drugs and alcohol, spent some time in jail, and ended up at a treatment centre.
He learned about SEDI’s Independent Living Account (ILA) program and enrolled in it. With the help of matching contributions from SEDI, he saved enough money to be able to move out on his own and go back to school.
Now he has a fulltime job, helps to maintain the house where he lives, and contributes financially to his family.

Social and Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI) is a Canadian nonprofit organization, founded in 1986, that helps low-income earners gain financial independence through financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and asset building.
SEDI offers a number of annual awards that recognize the success of individuals who have completed its programs. This video introduces one award winner, a young woman who left home at 16 because of family problems and spent the next two years living in group homes.
She explains that SEDI’s program helped her develop money-management skills and, at the same time, learn to control her temper and find more effective ways to deal with difficult situations. Now she works as a receptionist at a wholesale company and enjoys a happy, fulfilling life.
