Yayasan MENDAKI (Council for the Development of Singapore Malay/Muslim Community) is a pioneer self-help group formed in 1982 dedicated to empower the community through excellence in education, in the context of a multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore.

MENDAKI's programmes largely target the bottom 30 per cent of the Malay/Muslim population and are therefore highly subsidised. They are mostly preventive and developmental programmes to provide early assistance to the beneficiaries so that they will be school-ready, able to perform in school and ultimately be future-ready.

On 13 January 2018, SUSS signed an MOU with Yayasan MENDAKI to collaborate in applied social science research and analytical studies, aimed at enhancing the community's educational development.
