ETIQA Insurance recently launched its new corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, Socially and Economically Empowered Development or SEED, to help women and youth from poor families to be financially independent.

The programme seeks to provide them the opportunity to acquire entrepreneurial and technical skills aimed at starting a business, to expand a current business or become employed.
