The inaugural FRIEND Stakeholder Forum on Developing Enterprises for Sustainable Income marks itself as one of the major activities of the organization this year. The two day forum was held at Kshatriya Hall in Lautoka sporting the theme ‘Using Skills and Resources Creatively to Fight Poverty’.

Our first panel focused on ‘Overcoming Challenges in Developing Small Enterprises’.
