LGU-Kalibo Trains Entrepreneurs
Some 30 beneficiaries will undergo a capability training seminar on Self Employment Assistance – Kaunlaran (SEA-K) program under the Municipal social Welfare and Development Office from October 25 to 27, 2006 at the Barangay Hall of Brgy. Bakhaw Norte, Kalibo.
Seen as a way to alleviate poverty and increase employment, the SEA-K Program is helping families in the different barangays in Kalibo. It provides the means to better their lives through capability training and capital assistance.
"The ideal way to help our less fortunate people is by giving them a chance to improve their lives through programs like the SEA-K. This way, they will be able to help themselves, their family, and serve as an inspiration to others," says Kalibo Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo.
To date, SEA-K Program has 184 beneficiaries and their families through Rebaldo’s incessant drive in providing alternative sources of income for the less privileged Kalibonhons.
