A Money Fo Sho financial literacy training was conducted on the 25th of May 2026 in the rural community of Mkhizwane in Cato Ridge, where opportunities are limited and access to information is scarce. The training aimed to equip community members especially the young ones with practical knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions, manage their income effectively, and improve their overall financial well-being.
The level of enthusiasm and participation displayed by the attendees was remarkable. Participants actively engaged throughout the session, asking questions, sharing experiences, and contributing to discussions. Many participants openly shared personal stories of financial mismanagement, these testimonies underscored the urgent need for ongoing financial education within the community. The session was transformational, inspiring participants to take control of their financial journeys and make more informed choices. Participants strongly requested that similar empowering workshops be conducted regularly to continue building financial knowledge and resilience within the community.
Overall, the training was a great success and highlighted the significant impact that such programmes can have in underserved rural communities.
