On the 21st May 2026, I facilitated Money fo' Sho session at Tokisho Children Project to youth and young adults who are on a sewing learnership. Tokisho is situated in a village called Mesopotamia in Ga- Mapela, the village is situated in a mining area. In our recap One of the participants said that the one thing he has taken away from the training was how he was going to apply his newly acquired knowledge to his business of sewing protective clothes, which he is selling to retailors in town, to draw a proper budget by applying the rule of 50/30/20 in his business and to ensure that his business spends less than it receives, and to include wages in the overheads to ensure that it is accounted for. At the end of his learnership, he will be managing his business full time and he feels that he has gained enough knowledge to ensure profitability.
