Six women entrepreneurs successfully completed the Ka-pandaBIZ: Women on Wheels program, a delivery fleet course providing women with tools and skills to start their own businesses.
The first batch of Women on Wheels participants received business capital worth P100,000 to kickstart their own small businesses.
“We are very proud of the women who participated in the Ka-pandaBIZ: Women on Wheels program. Their dedication and hard work have been impressive. This initiative shows our commitment to supporting and uplifting women in our Ka-panda community, providing them with opportunities to grow and succeed,” said foodpanda logistics rider experience lead Ron Sanders.
The training sessions were organized in partnership with HAPINOY, foodpanda logistics’ official partner organization, a program dedicated to empowering microentrepreneurs.
Aside from the business training sessions, they were also taught about community leadership. Each beneficiary was given a separate allowance to do a pay-it-forward activity through community clean-ups, feeding program and back-to-school support.
Over 300 beneficiaries including children, senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWD), and members of the LGBTQIA+ community were able to either participate in or receive the benefits.
The Ka-pandaBIZ: Women on Wheels program is part of foodpanda logistics’ broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and gender equality.
“By empowering women in the Ka-panda delivery fleet, this program not only enhances their livelihoods but also contributes to the economic growth of their communities,” Sanders said.
