On January 20th, Filipina Women’s Network and the Filipina Women Global Fund launched the Tacloban 34 Women Fund, a micro enterprise revolving loan fund for 34 women residents of Habitat for Humanity Kawayanville in Tacloban, Leyte. The initiative was financed by funds raised for Rebuild Tacloban. 

The 34 women of Kawayanville pitched to Filipina Women’s Network the small businesses they intend to establish to meet the much-needed services in their newly-built community after Typhoon Yolanda destroyed their families, homes and businesses.
