Cultivating Change: AgrElevate Equips Leyte’s Agricultural Communities with Capital and Leadership Skills
In Leyte, farmers and fisherfolk are stepping up as community leaders through the AgrElevate Program by Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI), supported by BPI Foundation. The program equips local groups with capital, training, and leadership skills to build sustainable businesses rooted in their communities.
Through financial literacy sessions, enterprise development workshops, and leadership training, beneficiaries are now implementing business plans tailored to their local resources and needs. Six community-designed livelihood projects have received capital support, ranging from oyster culture to rice harvest processing.
AgrElevate is fostering a new generation of community-based entrepreneurs—empowered, equipped, and ready to lead local development.
