THE Citi Foundation, in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Trinidad and Tobago, launched the Settle Strong Resilience Initiative (SSRI) on March 12, much to the delight of residents from two low-income communities in south Trinidad.

The initiative, which is part of Citi’s Global Innovation Challenge, will provide US$500,000 in grants to support innovative job solutions for low-income youths in Hardbargain in the Williamsville district and Basse Terre Village in Moruga.

The funding will also focus on two years of upskilling, reskilling, entrepreneurship, and financial education programmes (October 2024 to September 2026).
