The Filipina Women's Network (FWN) is collaborating with SolarSolutions Philippines and the Climate Change Commission with the Office of the President of the Philippines on a job skills training program. This collaboration was initiated with the support of Secretary Mary Ann Lucille Sering (FWN Global100 '13).
With the support of a local partner in Tacloban, headed by Sr. Tonette Echavez of the Daughters of St. Paul in Tacloban City, FWN has pre-selected 25 women beneficiaries who are Haiyan survivors living in the UN Tent City.
In this special program, the women will be trained to assemble solar panels and to install these panels in homes. SolarSolutions, our technical partner, will install 25 solar power lighting and cellphone charging systems with the women beneficiaries.
The women will be trained by SolarSolutions and will do actual installations together in their bunkhouses, tents, or evacuation centers.
Please sponsor a Filipina to learn technical job skills
through the training program for $200.
