The activity was initiated by the Department of Migrant Workers Region XI to support OFWs in their reintegration journey through entrepreneurship and financial empowerment. It aimed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to establish sustainable livelihood ventures and effectively manage their financial resources.

Participants gained valuable insights into both entrepreneurship and financial management, reinforcing the connection between a strong entrepreneurial mindset and responsible financial practices. The discussions emphasized that these two elements are essential in building resilient businesses capable of providing long-term livelihood opportunities for OFWs and their families.
