Dear Valued VISET Members and Stakeholders,
As we approach the festive season, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous journey we have shared throughout the year and inform you that VISET will be closing for the holidays from Wednesday, December 17, 2025, to Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
This past year has been filled with significant milestones and achievements in advancing the informal economy ecosystem. Together, we have made remarkable strides that have not only fostered growth within our community but have also positively impacted the lives of countless individuals.
Some of our key achievements include:
Empowerment through Training: We successfully conducted several training workshops that equipped informal economy workers with essential skills, enhancing their capabilities and increasing their opportunities for economic advancement.
Access to Resources: Through our partnerships and collaborative efforts, we facilitated access to vital resources such as financial assistance, business development support, and market linkages, empowering many to thrive in their ventures.
Advocacy and Representation: Our joint efforts in advocating for the rights and needs of informal sector workers have raised awareness and led to meaningful policy discussions, ensuring that their voices are heard at various levels.
Community Building: We have strengthened our community networks, fostering connections among businesses, local authorities, and civil society organizations. This collaboration has created a more supportive environment for those engaged in the informal economy.
Success Stories: Many individuals have shared inspiring success stories of how they transformed their lives through the opportunities we created together, showcasing the incredible potential within this sector.
As we celebrate these accomplishments, we recognize that they would not have been possible without your unwavering support and commitment. Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the potential of the informal economy.
As we prepare for some well-deserved time off, we encourage you to reflect on the year gone by and the positive impact we’ve made together.
Wishing you all a safe and joyful festive season filled with peace and happiness. We look forward to reconnecting with you in the New Year to continue our important work together!
Warm regards,
The VISET Team
