MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Rural poverty continues to challenge agricultural communities across the Philippines, with 25.7% of the population — many of them farmers and fisherfolk, still living below the poverty line. Addressing this urgent issue, the Foundation for a Sustainable Society, Inc. (FSSI), a social investment nonprofit, is empowering women-led social enterprises to transform rural economies through inclusive, sustainable business models guided by the triple bottom line (3BL) framework of people, planet, and profit.
By providing tailored financing, technical assistance, and capacity-building opportunities, FSSI enables Filipina social entrepreneurs to expand services, scale operations, and lead innovations that create lasting community impact.
