The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), in collaboration with Mobilink Microfinance Bank, is taking an impactful step toward advancing women’s economic participation through a specialized training session titled “Women Thrive: Building Financial Resilience Together.” The event is scheduled for June 26, 2025, at 2:30 PM and will take place at Chamber House, aiming to equip women with the necessary tools to thrive in today’s evolving financial landscape.
This initiative is led by Saima Dastagir, Chairperson of the Women Entrepreneurs Standing Committee at RCCI, alongside Vice Chairperson Urooj Fatima. Together, they are spearheading efforts to address financial literacy gaps and promote inclusive economic resilience for women-led businesses in Pakistan.
The training session aims to bridge the disconnect between women entrepreneurs and accessible financial tools by fostering a deeper understanding of how to manage finances, navigate credit systems, and utilize microfinance opportunities for sustainable growth. The collaboration with Mobilink Microfinance Bank is strategically aligned with the institution’s commitment to democratizing access to finance, especially for underserved segments such as women-led enterprises.
As the country experiences digital and financial transformation, initiatives like this serve as catalysts in enabling women to become active contributors in both the entrepreneurial and formal financial sectors. By supporting these educational engagements, RCCI continues to play a vital role in fostering an ecosystem where women are not only encouraged to pursue their business ambitions but are also empowered with financial resilience to withstand economic volatility.
The session promises to offer a comprehensive outlook on building sustainable financial strategies, understanding risk mitigation, and utilizing financial products tailored for women entrepreneurs. In an economy where a significant number of small and medium enterprises are either women-owned or women-led, such capacity-building efforts are more crucial than ever.
Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with financial experts, engage in practical learning activities, and join a community of like-minded women committed to mutual growth and support. With the financial sector increasingly recognizing the potential of female-led enterprises, such engagements are pivotal for long-term national economic inclusion.
The Women Thrive session not only aligns with Pakistan’s broader goals of gender inclusion and economic empowerment but also reflects the rising need to strengthen financial capabilities at the grassroots level. Interested participants are encouraged to register through the official form available online, ensuring their place in this important initiative aimed at transforming financial empowerment into tangible progress.
