SCILLS Banten (Strengthening Communities / Improving Lives and Livelihoods)

We supported more than 240 small business owners — the majority of whom are women — in Kragilan, Walantaka, and Gunung Sari, Banten, to strengthen their business resilience through digital skills and business management training. They gained practical knowledge on how to market products online, manage finances, handle business legality, and build collaborative networks — enabling them to survive and grow amid economic challenges.
