Sanlam and Avocado vision entrusted me to go and money modular session, I visited Solve Park community in Namahadi, financial literacy training was complete new to them they were a bit sceptical about it and not sure to attend or not. Training was held outside on one of the rdp houses with members who were passing by they came and asked about our gathering attendance was fairly good. I train 4 money modular sessions which was an eye opener to them especially when we were talking about teaching children about money, they admitted that this they never came across a topic like this one, and they never thought about the importance of taking it upon themselves and teach their children about money, and how it could have a negative impact to the entire household finances it its neglected and pushed aside, they got to an understanding that It’s not someone else’s responsibility but their own to make sure their children know how to use money at a young age.
Coronation I had the opportunity to go back to the community of Haniville,in Makwane and train them Coronation MFS sessions and MM sessions. I trained them back in 2018. I received very encouraging feedback from them where one particular lady said this training helped her to achieve her goals, she joined Stokvel's and made a lot of money and she was able to finish building her house and buying furniture which she was stuck with for many years. One other community that stands out is the Bluegumbosch, it is a big community with a lot of sections. They are always ready to welcome this training. This time we trained soccer clubs, this groups of young men are so hopeful and full of ideas of opening their own business, the only thing that is standing in their way is that they are easily discouraged by the challenges they meet when operating their businesses. This training offered them the skills and encouragement they needed to go back and operate their businesses. When we were doing find money in your budget activity this particular lady (Nogoli) realized that she is paying too much on funeral insurance for her family and immediate family members who are not responsible enough to pay for their own funeral insurances because they know that they are already covered by her. She came to a realization that its not like they can’t afford to pay for their own policy because they use their own money for other expenses. The next day she made a follow up and decided to take that money and buy life insurance with it.
Community of March Village at Khuis, Kuruman. We had a great time together learning so so much from Sanlam Money Modular Programmes.. Participants were very grateful for the programmes we brought to them. Some were saying that these Modular was an eye-opener for them and from now they will be able to make informed decision when dealing with their money.
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.
