Mulberry Door and nawwTys kitchen's partnership with GREAT Women

I was one of the attendees of an intimate thanksgiving lunch of Mulberry Door in Forbestown Road, Burgos Circle, Taguig. The special lunch was a celebration of Mulberry Door and nawwTys kitchen's by Trish Panlilio partnership with Great Women, a platform that supports women enterprises and economic empowerment.

This third collaboration is not only Trish Panlilio way to celebrate a year full support from patrons who have enjoyed her fresh, home cooked comfort food at Mulberry Door and nawwTy's Kitchen, but also serves as an opportunity for her to share the great news that with the success of nawwTy Gives Back this year, a second installment is in the works for 2020.

Jeanine Javelosa, who leads GREAT Women says, " Mulberry Door isa women-owned business we are happy to partner with. We can help enhance the productivity of our weavers business by having their eyes checked and giving them new eyeglasses. We had wondered why our GREAT Women weavers were so slow and realized it was because many of the older weavers could not see anymore. The handloom weaving process is so intricate that they need eyeglasses to see". Any additional funds we can get from this partnership with Mulberry will also got to purchase spools of threads for the indigenous weavers.

As Trish Panlilio way of paying it forward through the GREAT Women platform, the partnership will be closer to heart as diners can show support by purchasing a select dish from the existing menu of Mulberry Door where 20% will be donated to Great Women Platform to help fund for eyeglasses or spools of thread for the Bagobo Tagabaw (in the south) and Ibaloi (from the north) community weavers.
