MICRO ENTERPRISE REVOLVING LOAN FUND
In collaboration with Philippines Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and Center for Agriculture and Rural Development, Inc-Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD-MRI), the Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network assists in the re-invigoration of grassroots enterprises, known as Sari Sari stores, through store reconstruction materials and tools, as well as ensuring reactivation of market supply chains for goods to flow. Many of the women’s husbands are fishermen and need to purchase boats and fish nets. Give here.
The Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network (FWN) collaborates with SolarSolutions Philippines and the Climate Change Commission with the Office of the President of the Philippines on a job skills training program. This collaboration was initiated with the support of Secretary Mary Ann Lucille Sering (FWN Global FWN100™™ ‘13). Give here.
To support the Solar Project, there is a need to have a training center with a daycare facility.
Currently, we are working with (former) Mayor of Marikina City Marides Fernando. She has offered to build a Training Center on vacant land owned by the Mondejar Family where some of the women beneficiaries of the Solar Power Systems Training Program will be trained. Give here.
The rebuilding of the women of Tacloban is on-going. Rape and trafficking incident reports have increased and we’ve put together a Women’s Survivor Kit to help women protect themselves and to help with their daily lives. Give here.
