In a heartwarming display of support and empowerment, the Leonard Cheshire Disability Philippines Foundation, Inc. and Humanity and Inclusion congratulated the beneficiaries of the Thrive Together Project in Quezon City. Through this initiative, deserving individuals were given a seed grant of P15,000 each to kickstart their livelihood ventures, following their participation in the Business Planning Workshop.

Mary Joy Borja and Jean Bernadette Hortizuela were among the fortunate recipients who underwent training and received the seed grants to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations. The event was graced by the presence of Mayor Joy Belmonte and Ms. Deborah Dacanay from the Persons with Disability Affairs Office, who joined in the distribution of grants to the beneficiaries.
