SJC Women’s Ministry at Women and Economic Interdependence Symposium (WEI)

The WEI (Women and Economic Interdependence) Symposium was held at Crystal Crown Hotel, Petaling Jaya on Saturday, 16 April 2016. About 350 women from various churches in the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur attended the symposium. SJC Women’s Ministry was represented by 25 delegates. The event was organised by the Women’s Desk of the Archdiocese Office for Human Development (AOHD) Kuala Lumpur.

Some highlights of the programme included introduction to the awareness of home based business models, understanding of financial management and establishing a platform for networking. The symposium is a response to uplift women caught in the web of the “urban poor”. Testimonies and success stories were shared by successful women entrepreneurs and other support groups. Booths displaying the various business enterprises provided the added attraction to the symposium. SJC Women’s Ministry took up four booths, offering various products and services.
