The Mereka Difference

Top rated

"Very satisfied with the vision of the programme, the deliverables and outcomes. We hope Me.reka will be able to share the current status of all 40 youths and what they are doing and if they are able to sustain themselves based on the digital skills that they have acquired from this programme."
"Despite the decision to shift from an in-person summit to (almost) virtual program, the overall content was comprehensive and professionally curated by Biji-Biji team. Echoing my Public Affairs Officer (and in his own quote), we could not imagine a better implementing partner for this YSEALI Summit and Biji-Biji team really did an amazing job.

On a personal note, I really enjoyed working with Lastrina, Nalindra and G, including the summit's local partner, Big BWN Project. If Post Brunei plans to organize any regional YSEALI workshop and release a NOFO in the future, I hope Biji-Biji will consider submitting a proposal."
