AWCF joined Sacred Heart Credit and Development Cooperative (SHCDC) in two milestones that it celebrated for the first quarter of 2011. On February 23, SHCDC observed the blessing and inauguration of its newly renovated main office located in San Rafael, Bulacan province, Philippines. Then on March 26, the Co-op held its General Assembly (GA) in San Rafael. SHCDC is considered by AWCF as one of the Philippine co-ops promoting gender equality in the country.
Ms Aster Peñaranda, AWCF Administrative and Finance Coordinator, led the AWCF group that joined other organizations in showing support to SHCDC when it inaugurated its much improved main office as well as its newest service, the Bayad Center (a payment center). SHCDC’s guest of honor in its event was Representative Jose Ping-ay of the Coop-NATCCO Partylist. SHCDC is one of the co-op members of Coop-NATCCO that sits in the current Philippine Congress.
Meanwhile, on SHCDC’s GA, the AWCF shared gender equality (GE) concepts to the SHCDC members. The AWCF party led by Ms Maria Theresa Saliendra, AWCF Project Assistant, also informed Co-op members of the background and current activities of the AWCF-Swedish Cooperative Center (SCC) partnership project on GE wherein SHCDC is among the Philippine co-ops taking part.
