How can zakat better support women, families, and underserved communities?

The Accelerate Bangsamoro Project, Bangsamoro Darul Ifta, and M&T Consultants, are working with key stakeholders to explore a more accessible, transparent, and Shari’ah-compliant zakat system for BARMM.

Through the Accelerate Bangsamoro Project of The Asia Foundation, supported by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, this effort connects community experience with institutional dialogue - helping explore how zakat can complement livelihood support and open more economic opportunities.

Because when resources are managed with trust and reach those who need them, they can help build stronger livelihoods and contribute to lasting peace in Bangsamoro.

Let’s support efforts that turn shared resources into real opportunities for women and communities.

💜 Empower livelihoods.

💜 Build trust.

☮️ Strengthen peace.

Tawi-Tawi is that gem of an island in the southern-most region in Mindanao.

If not literally, it is evident in its multi-cultural landscape in both people and the arts and culture.

In the lighting speed of technology brought about by A.I., where does the rich and colorful culture finds itself or should position its heritage moving into the future already on its doorstep?

In a nutshell, this was the topic of the forum organized by the Ministry of Trade, Investments and Tourism- Tawi-Tawi Provincial Office.

The Accelerate Bangsamoro Project of The Asia Foundation in partnership with the various agencies in Tawi-Tawi is one with the advocacy of putting the province a stamp in the world awareness of its heritage and culture.

Technology is but a tool, honoring the roots and its deep history without leaving behind the artisans and artists is the ultimate goal.

💜 Don’t miss the activities and efforts pursued by the Accelerate Bangsamoro Project in peace sustainability through energized empowerment of women-led, and women-owned businesses in the Region by following this page.

We do not just update our communities with events but we share a peek into the lives impacted by this project supported by Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and implemented by The Asia Foundation.

What opportunities could be missed without digital skills?

🤔 Imagine having a good product, but not knowing how to show it online.

🤔 Imagine having customers who could find you—but not knowing how to reach them.

🤔 Or having the opportunity to grow your business beyond your community, but not knowing which digital tools could help you get there.

For women with disabilities in Tawi-Tawi, these are some of the opportunities that digital skills can help unlock.

Through a two-day digital skills workshop, Accelerate Bangsamoro partnered with DICT Tawi-Tawi at the Digital Transformation Center in Bongao to help participants build practical skills in:

📱 Digital & Social Media Marketing – creating content and managing online platforms

🌐 Online Tools – reaching more customers and expanding market opportunities

🚀 Business Growth – building confidence to take their enterprises further online

Because digital inclusion is not simply about learning technology. It is about making sure more women have the knowledge and confidence to participate, connect, and grow.

Our thanks to DICT Tawi-Tawi, especially our trainers Mr. Aidan Shamir Salik, ILCD Provincial Focal, and Ms. Sharajane Abdon, CSB/PKI Provincial Focal, for helping make these opportunities possible.

When women gain digital skills, more doors can open. And when more doors open, businesses and communities can grow. 💜

Accelerate Bangsamoro is supported by the Australian Embassy and implemented by The Asia Foundation.

It’s harder than it seems- the Tausug dance. The controlled movement, the graceful lines of extended arms, the footwork required to glide and turn without the jerk. For showcasing this performance, bravo Krisher! 👏👏👏
