Nov 27, 2020

Jessie Seno, a karinderya owner in Quezon City, is one of the micro-entrepreneurs who was able to revive his livelihood through Project Karinderya. Learn more about his experience in the project through this video.

Project Karinderya was organized to help provide access to safe food to affected communities and sustain livelihood of small entrepreneurs most affected by COVID-19. Civil society and private sector organizations banded together to make food immediately available to an increasing number of families who suffer hunger due to the effects of the lockdown, while helping food micro-enterprises or karinderyas to survive and recover their source of income.
