Out-of-school youths (OSY) put their financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills into practice at the Dreamers Pop-Up: Empowering Out-of-School Youth Bazaar, organized by FWD Life Insurance (FWD Philippines) and Junior Achievement of the Philippines (JA Philippines) last 5 July. The event was a testament to the transformative impact of entrepreneurial education to over 430 OSY provided by FWD Philippines and JA Philippines through their JA It’s My Dream program. “The biggest achievement of this program is giving kids the confidence to sell not just their products, but also their ideas and skills.
It’s the first and most important step in uplifting their lives. We help them with tools, mentorship, and support all the way to ensure their dreams become reality through the power of financial literacy and entrepreneurship,” said FWD Philippines Chief Marketing and Digital Business Officer, Roche Vandenberghe. She also underlines the importance of the partnership with FWD and JA Philippines, as it contributes to the insurer’s commitment to nation-building and empowering the next generation of Filipinos.
