Pinoy Worldwide Initiative on Savings Investment and Entrepreneurship

About Pinoy WISE

Atikha and the Philippine Consortium on Migration and Development (PHILCOMDEV) organized the PINOY WISE MOVEMENT (Pinoy Worldwide Initiative on Savings Investment and Entrepreneurship) an information, value formation and education campaign to encourage OFWs and their families to save and invest the hard earned money of the Overseas Filipinos wisely.

The Pinoy WISE Movement aims to:

• create a network of stakeholders from the government, non-government and private sector who will spearhead the campaign and provide concrete services to address the lack of savings and investment of OFWs and their families,
• reach out to OFWs and their families and provide information, value formation and training activities to encourage them to save and invest;
• enroll OFs and their families to concrete savings and investment programs of selected cooperatives, microfinance institutions, social enterprises, insurance companies, banks and other agencies; and
• leverage migrant resources with government and corporations towards local economic development.
