Local Legacy Ep 8: Volunteer-run Business Feat. Team MDI
Success isn’t just measured in profits, but in impact. We prove this by showcasing a volunteer-run business committed to uplifting communities. Despite funding constraints, their resilience are driven by a shared mission to make a difference. Their journey reflects the Singapore spirit, showcasing the power of compassion and the ‘gotong royong’ way of lifting others up. More than just an inspiring story, this episode reveals what it takes to sustain a purpose-driven business while balancing passion with practicality.
Team MDI is a ground-up initiative that’s been providing free haircuts to those in need — from elderly uncles in rental flats to bed-bound residents across Singapore. Despite having no full-time staff or fixed funding, they’ve stayed strong for almost a decade thanks to their unwavering belief in helping others. This isn’t just a story about giving back — it’s about how resilience, compassion, and community can keep a mission going, no matter the odds.
