The congregation was then welcomed by Dr. Maria Rufina, President of MiWEPs, after which, Ms Nawarmani the Program Coordinator & Deputy President of MiWEPs, gave an Overview of CUEDIP.
This occasion will not be meaningful without the presence of IPMA (UK).

HI Tea fellowship
Thank you Dr. Maria and Miweps leaders for inspiring me. You all transformed me from calling myself a "Single Mother" to "An Independent Mother". Now I'm proud to call myself as an "Independent Women Entrepreneur". Miweps can change every woman to become stronger.
Miweps gave me an opportunity that I never dreamt of. Outcome of the mentor walk gave me the exposure on training industry both locally and international and also in broadening my network. With that I’ve also managed to adapt to MCO and new norm in the best way possible. More to come and thank you Miweps and Dr. Maria.
Miweps had been a great platform for my self development as well as reaching out to the community. Dr Maria and the team had given me opportunities to take lead in projects, network with high profile personalities, appear on TV interviews and be featured in newspapers! Thus, the exposure had groomed me and now, I've received several accolades and speaking at international platforms to empower more people. It is a beautiful journey, learning and having fun with awesome people in Miweps.
I have gained a lot through MiWEPs, through the CUEDIP programme I have earned myself and Executive Diploma in Administration from IPMA (UK) and was the best student of this class. I also attended Global Walk and through this connection, I got CIDB permit for my business. I became more confident and started speaking on agroprenuership and that gave me some extra income too. I also participated in MiWEPs Car Booth Sales, started off Abbi’s kitchen and made more than 200% profit!
