KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato (PIA) -- Members of Bangsamoro Women of South Cotabato (BWSC) recently joined a financial literacy seminar and organizational development session from the Department of Trade and Industry – South Cotabato.

Speakers from DTI-South Cotabato, in partnership with Kasilak Foundation provided needed inputs for BWSC members and officers to equip them with basic entrepreneurial ideas and skills.

According to DTI-South Cotabato provincial director Rictoniel Reginio, this activity aims to capacitate the organization to manage their finances and hone their skills in developing their chosen business venture.

“DTI-South Cotabato’s partnership with the Kasilak Foundation through their ProPeace Program shall complement the agency’s goal of providing assistance to the marginalized members of the community including those who are in the local communist armed conflict affected areas,” Reginio said.

The seminar included topics on what it takes to be an entrepreneur mind setting, its benefits and advantages, viable business opportunities, among others.

The BWSC, with members from different towns in the province, will soon operate a catering service and food processing business which is part of the support provided by the assisting non-government organization. (ORVR/PIA XII)
