The 4th reason why it
is worth supporting
Wu-Chi in its drive to solve the problem
of wayward male youth . . .
Because
Wu-Chi’s expansion program will be a
financially independent, self-funding,
community aid operation. |
Although Wu-Chi is a
totally non-profit organisation, we
firmly believe in running our community
aid operation as a financially
successful business.
This is to ensure that our operations
are not totally reliant on external
funding, thus averting the circumstances
that cause too many charitable
organisations to become as much of a
drain on society as are the people they
set out to help. |

This is to ensure that our operations are not

averting the circumstances that cause too many
charitable organisations to become as much of a

Our plan is to set up the Wu-Chi School of Arts
with a comprehensive financial portfolio —
encompassing diverse and sustainable commercial
interests to ensure that we stay in the business
of helping people.
Contrary to popular belief, even kids from the
poorest side of town find money to spend on what
they really want, whether it be for video games,
drugs, or streetwear, etc. When passion and
appetite rule, youth become very resourceful and
as we have proven over the years it is a very
simple (and highly beneficial4) matter to get
every student to find a way to earn their class
fees.
Also, because martial art is an established
industry (in the USA in 1995 it was second only
to computer networking in its growth rate, with
a $1.5 billion annual turnover - 'Forbes, Oct
1995') we will be able to capitalise from owning
associated industries which produce: DVDs,
videos, books, booklets, magazines, posters,
charts, clothing, club memorabilia, and martial
art paraphernalia that would be attractive not
only to Wu-Chi students, but to young men in
general.
Integris Wu-Chi will also look to own other
business enterprises and investments that will
be run to gain additional finance for its
operations.

| All our students are encouraged to earn
their own money to pay their class fees. Even
the youngest are taught not to depend on their
parent(s) to pay their way. This is part of our
"Own Your Own Life" program, which is designed
to put youth on a path that will lead them to
become financially self-reliant throughout their
adult life - helping to avert the need for
future welfare support schemes and handouts. |
