In line with our goal to support clients in growing their businesses through the PEER+ program, we successfully turned over livelihood kits to 23 beneficiaries in Negros Oriental on August 9, 2025. 

The clients received various forms of livelihood support—some received startup subsidies, others received equipment such as printers and vacuum sealers, while some were granted FDA-related subsidies. These kits are designed to help clients enhance their product packaging and labeling, and for some, explore opportunities for FDA accreditation. 

Through the DOST GIA Grant and the PEER+ Training Program—led by RAFI MFI Tindahan Ni Nanay—microentrepreneurs are being empowered with the skills, confidence, and support they need to grow, succeed, and become market-ready, thereby boosting the potential of their products.
