On the 14th and the 16th of May 2025, I trained my Health Promotion Officer Students on modules 11, 12 and 6. This was a good opportunity for them to prepare them for the workplace to learn about managing their finances. They learned about different insurances and how to choose the types of insurances they need. which will help them to choose wisely when they start their careers and make them grow money wisely. I also trained them on buying the big ticket items, so when the time comes for them to buy a car or a house they would know that the price of the house appreciates and the price of the car depreciates. In this topic they learned how to master their financial problems and understood that one cannot spend more than they earn. These sessions had a great impact on my students, because they will rectify the bad credit history habits of their parents. we are building a credit savvy generation that will know how to handle their finances. The next module we did was based on how to chose the right insurance and the importance of choosing only the insurance they need. This was educate them more on how important insurance is and why it is important. In the end they learned that having an insurance is important to avoid losing paying a lot of money in cases of unexpected events. As most of them already have young children, I also trained them on how to teach children about money. Soon I will be educating them on money fo sho, to ensure that they are financially fit when they start their employment journey.
