inclusion by implementing empowerment initiatives across communities nationwide. We focus

services and opportunities.

Empower Economic Participation

Enable economic independence and entrepreneurial growth for marginalized groups through financial empowerment programs.

Drive Social and Economic Equity

Reduce the economic disparity gap by providing equitable access to financial resources and opportunities.

Micro and Small Business Owners

Entrepreneurs or small business owners who may need access to microloans, financial literacy programs, and entrepreneurial support to grow and scale their businesses.

Persons with Disabilities (PWD)

Women in marginalized communities who may face barriers to financial access, such as limited property rights or lower financial literacy. Female entrepreneurs seeking access to capital to grow small businesses could also be a key focus.
