Previously, the name of STEADFAST was STADDFAST.STEADFAST once was not a society but was a special unit under STADD. This unit was trained to be a facilitating group and initially was composed of only 45 selected students from all the students in IIUM. Since beginning and until the year 2000, the members were never exceeded than 100 students. In 1997, STEADFAST was converted into a society to be organized by the students but still under the management of STADD. In 2001, SENDI which was previously under the CENSERVE became one of the bureaus in STEADFAST. In 2001, STEADFAST launched its alumni during the celebration of its 10th anniversary. STEADFAST as a society was first held its training in 1998. It is now known as STORM. Now, STEADFAST has more than hundred members from various kuliyyah in IIUM.

IMPACTFUL PROGRAM
Steadfast School Project 2020 was held for two days in February 2020, collaborating with Mercy Mission Malaysia. 70 primary students in Sekolah Kebangsaan Simpang Empat and 60 primary students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Keria were involved. The theme of the school project for SK Padang Keria was ‘leadership,’ while SK Simpang Empat’s theme was ‘English Camp.’ Steadfast Club has worked for many years to facilitate schools and students to become a better Muslim and shape them to become future Islamic leader of a society that uses co-creation to generate outcomes that have a lasting impact on the community.
In summary, the activities of both schools were different from each other. As the program’s objective for SK Padang Keria was to improve students’ leadership skills, various modules related to leadership were introduced to the students. Furthermore, students of SK Simpang Empat were introduced with some modules related to the English language.
Programs with students’ parents and old folks were also held. The activities involving participants and parents were aerobics, charity and parenting talks. The outcomes in terms of satisfaction were also encouraging, where it allowed the students to think creatively, work as a team, and at the same time, enjoy the games. Most importantly, most of them strongly agreed that the program had met their expectations and presumptions.
