Testimonial Program
Darwin
Food Seller, Participant of RISE Program in Bekasi
"The RISE training granted me an access to more knowledge in carrying out my Chicken Noodle and Fried Banana business. The RISE training has also taught me the right way to increase the number of customers which can give rise to maximum profit. Now I got to understand the importance of financial management and saving enough reserve fund for emergency needs."
Santoso
Tailor, Participant of RISE Program in Yogyakarta
"I started to open a tailor business at the end of 2015. I was confused in running the business and finally decided to attend RISE training. It helped me determine my business direction, especially in tailoring business. After attending training and mentoring program, I decided to focus on wedding attire tailor business since nobody have provided the service in my place. I also created my own signature product that other tailors don't sell. Now, demand for my tailored products keep increasing, even from out of town. I am very happy, moved, and proud of this achievement."
