The training was conducted for 2days, on the 8th and 9th of May 2025. It was on Money Modular. This was a continuation of the financial skills training as part of the same group attended a Money Fo Sho session last year. It is a group of participants with various physical disabilities who are on an ECD Level 5 learnership programme. They were very excited because the training was like a refresher for them and at the same time it brought more clarity on many topics they dealt with in Money fo sho. Antoinette (Project Manager) was present in one of the training days, and shared some useful information on scams and phishing .The activities on Budgeting, Setting Goals and Money Safety were the highlights as participants were open to share their experiences on how one was a
victim of a scam because of the desperation for money and employment. It was so sad to hear that the victims had to borrow money to buy laptops which they lost and found out that they were scammed as it turned out that it was a fake job opportunity. They found the SMART and GROW principles as very useful in guiding them to set achievable goals.
The Budgeting template was so useful to them as they were receiving a stipend and was a good practice towards a proper budget with a surplus and not a shortfall, thanks to the Handout they worked on as individuals and later shared the information as group presentations. The training was more fitting to the attendees in many ways!
