Sanlam MM at Khuis in Kuruman was so so exciting and awesome because participants were asking relevant questions and were active in class. Thank you Sanlam and Avocado Vision for impacting people's lives positively.
Coronation Module 11 & 12 at Kagung Village in Kuruman in the Northern Cape was a fantastic session i had. I've realised that there are still people who don't know much about teaching children about money as well as Buying Big Ticket Item and how to plan your budget while prioritising on Needs.. I was so excited by how my participants where hungry for knowledge. We shared a lot of stories, scams & fraud. We discussed real issues and chaĺlenges which they have experienced around Kuruman Town. Thank you so much Avocado Vision and Coronation for making it possible that we impact communities lives positively.

Communities of Makhoba and Mafube received EPWP programmes , it is for the first time luckily enough this financial literacy was arranged with me before they pay their first wages , annimpact have been done as participants get the opportunity to learn about budgeting, savings , banking , credit before they could engage them to , when training them they shared their previous experiences with the hope that these trainings will help them to change their situations and make them manage their finances better . Participants hope that at the end of their contract they'll have enough saved in their names to help them .
Training in KwaCetshe in Flagstaff was a priviledge to me , seeing these people so happy , enthusiastic, calling their families and community members to join the valuable training , I had to let them join as the village people have made a provision for food for the added participants , stories shared , experiences shared thought me that communities really need financial literacy training , Mr Faku the Chief blessed us with his presence to encourage his people, he then decided to include financial management awareness in every weekly traditional meetings as he thinks this will have an impact to his community , village people are going through a lot that is caused by lack of financial knowledge . Stories shared by participants we heart warming , they didn't even mind the cold as we were forced to take training outside because of extra participants.
In MetroKickstarz financial life skills training program I have discovered that the are many teenagers more especial in rural areas that are intrested in the program , but they don't have access to, internet, data due to their financial status. Some have phones but not in WhatsApp or using WhatsApp or updated. That have touched my heart and I committed my self to drive to their location with my route donate data to make change in their lives. They were so excited to be be part of this program
Hollard Streetwise financial literacy was held in Ashton Zolani location , it went very well, the community of Zolani location want more than 1 day, it brings financial freedom to their households. Challenges :the vanue is not easy to find in these communities ??and some the community leaders don't want to involved themselves in organizing the people.
Avocado Vision in partnership with Sanlam made it possible for me to visit different communities to upskill in financial literacy, more than 150 leaners attended the program and get a chance to learn more about managing money in different modules, it really mean a lot to many participants more especially in budget because many people don't budget and that results to failing to manage their money better. Some they thought they understand the value of money but after training they confuse they understand nothing.
It was a privilege to some community who benefited in the Avocado Vision In partnership with Coronation and I financial literacy learning program. In most session we receive stories were people found themselves in regret due to failing to manange their money better and safety. Many we have train they don't budget , some like Philip from Numbi share his story with us " I Philip found myself scames by criminals at the ATM. I was struggling to withdraw money and a stranger volunteer to assist, He ask me to put my pin twice and say after I will get my money a d He live me. I waited in the ATM nothing come out until security ask whats wrong and I explained everything my card was gone by that time. Its were I notice that I was scammed" . Philip say it was only Salary He receive that was touching.
