Guided by our commitment to community empowerment, the WEE-SAFE Project under the EU: BAEP conducted the first batch of the Organizational Leadership and Governance Training, engaging eight local associations. We were honored to have Mr. Reynaldo H. Manigos, who is involved in the organization, social preparation, and institutional development of multiple cooperatives in Basilan, as our resource person.

The activity was attended by members and officers of a women-led association engaged in vegetable production and enterprise. This initiative aims to empower women in the community by deepening their understanding of their roles and responsibilities within their organization.

Over two days, participants explored the values of accountable leadership, transparent governance, and collective decision-making. The sessions aimed to inspire stronger, more resilient organizations rooted in shared purpose and service to the community.

KMFI conducted a training on sublimation shirt sewing for our Nanays, as part of the organization’s continuing goal to enhance the skills of loyal clients, helping them become more competitive and adaptive to modern technology.
