Cooperative for migrant worker returnees DAWN-MPC aims to empower women migrant returnees (entertainers from Japan and domestic workers from the Middle East and Asian countries) through the cooperative, a different yet effective approach for reintegration where they are provided with economic opportunities and support network among peers. This initiative will capacitate women migrants on being part of a cooperative. The DAWN-MPC wasestablished in 2008, and is seeking support to improve its economic activities and empower the members.

This initiative will conduct team-building activities that will establish camaraderie and forge ties among women migrant returnees. A series of capacity-building seminars will be conducted to equip members with the necessary skills to manage and operate a cooperative. These activities willprovide the foundation for engaging them into a cooperative as this will require competencies and strong peer support.
