Story

A powerful story from the field. On the 05 and 06th May I was privileged to train in another village of Moeka in Moretele Local Municipality on The North-West. On the first day after presentation of the Money Fo'Sho session a lady by the name of Caroline Dikobe saw us leave the venue and wondered what was going on, this is according to her telling me on the second day. Of course the following day she came to attend the Sanlam Money Modular courses on budgeting and Young people and money. After the sessions she came to me and told me how blessed and fortunate she was and that she had gained a lot in one day and wishes this was a month long program due to its impact in her life although a short days program. However the story does not start enthusiastically as she was feeling robbed of time, suicidal and feeling like a looser in life at 37 years of age. Now her life has been turned around as she feels motivated and encouraged to live a purposeful live. The two modules made her think about her long lost passion of being involved in ECD (Early Child-Care Development) and would now love to register and go back to class as soon as she can procure enough funds. Thanks to all the partners with underprivileged communities that we can reach people like Caroline and so many who have lost hope. We certainly are making a difference one life at a time.
