THE Philippine business of Standard Chartered Bank announced it has partnered with SOS Children’s Villages Philippines to provide the nongovernment group’s members “with decent employment and alternative sources of income through partnership development and various capacity-building interventions.”
“As the bank celebrates its 150th anniversary in the Philippines this year, SCB reaffirms its commitment to lifting participation–improving the lives of people by providing equitable access to financial education and seed funding for youth-led businesses, especially businesses led by young women and those with disabilities,” the lender said.
The bank said it expects its donation will benefit more than 1,400 young individuals, including young women and those with learning, mental and physical disabilities. The bank said the project will pilot at least five business centers as venues for entrepreneurial training and establish partnerships with the government and private sector organizations for youth employability projects. Some of these projects include youth mentoring, soft-skills training, capacity building, organizational skills training and reproductive-health awareness.
