Skills in finding opportunities to jumpstart and fund their
microenterprises
Knowledge in financial literacy
9. This can issues and problems can be solved by organizing
opportunities/ events/ workshops that will:

of running social enterprise
Creating a collaborative ecosystem where social enterprises don’t
COMPETE but COOPERATE with each other to address various social
concerns
Provide adequate seed-capital to finance their businesses
