As we conclude our Women’s Month celebration, our community, together with our sister community, the Kaayuhan Urban Poor Association, held a meaningful joint closing activity. This event highlighted the importance of empowering women through knowledge, health awareness, and livelihood opportunities.

We conducted a seminar on human health and development, made possible through the support of ZABIDA, the participation of ZZPSU Graduate School, and in partnership with the Office of the City Agriculturist and JCI Jambangan and JJC ADZU During the seminar, our women participants learned about HIV awareness, gained a deeper understanding of the menopausal stage, and were equipped with basic first aid knowledge, essential tools in caring for themselves, their families, and their community.

In the afternoon, our women actively participated in a hands-on training on meat processing, where they learned how to make longganisa. This session was guided by our resource speaker, Ms. Ma. Lorna Bautista from the Office of the City Agriculturist. Through this activity, our women gained practical skills that can help open opportunities for livelihood and financial independence.

This Women’s Month, we celebrate not only the strength and resilience of women but also their capacity to learn, grow, and uplift one another. The knowledge shared during this activity has planted seeds of hope, empowerment, and self-reliance among our participants
We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated Housing Manager of ZABIDA, Ms. Jesamine Pollisco, for her unwavering support in making this activity possible.

Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to the success of this celebration. Together, we continue to empower women and build stronger communities.
