The Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore attended the signing of a significant agreement titled “Business Families Empowering Grassroots Enterprises” between WE Empower Ltd and the Singapore University of Social Services (SUSS). The accord aims to provide entrepreneurship training, internships, and environmental conservation through the Bamboo Project in Indonesia.
This collaboration between WE Empower and SUSS has received strong support from Charles Menaro, the President Director of Meratus Line, an Indonesian shipping company.

By harnessing the expertise and resources of both WE Empower and SUSS, the Bamboo Project aims to create lasting positive impacts on Indonesia’s grassroots economy and environmental conservation efforts. This endeavor also serves to foster stronger bonds between the neighboring countries and reinforces their commitment to mutual progress within the ASEAN family.
