Financial skills to our kids is such an amazing opportunity for them, they really enjoyed to be in the same class with their parents, it also teaches me how we as parents can take responsibility and acknowledge their talents, because most of the the we are not with them, which makes them not to take responsibility of using their money on the right way. The training was such inspired by the end where the parents and the kids take responsibility of choosing what they must save for and what to buy when they go to the shops.
We had the privilege to attend an event hosted by Department of Social Development Mangaung Metro women's day. Whereby a lot of challenges were discussed, resolved and tips shared amongst women on how to overcome their daily household finances and stick to their budget. What Mme Madina shared how she's been struggling to stick to her budget, but she kept on trying different method and she finally got it right by recording/tracking her daily, weekly and month expenses using her expenses notebook were she records and keep all her receipts. In that way she was able to trace her cost/expenses and cut were necessary, and at the end she managed to save for retirement, annual holidays and has an investment. I'll really also like to applaud Mr Moya's Sanlam Bloemfontein team for their support and visibility throughout the sessions and the event. Avo in partnership with Sanlam are really changing communities SA.
On the 16th of July 2025, I was invited by Sindi Ngubane of Qhikiza Lifestyle to equip the members of her organisation with basic financial skills. The training was held at Florence Mkhize building in Durban and their session was on Sanlam Money Fo Sho. Most of the participants are in the entertainment industry, which means they do not have stable jobs, so they needed this session to manage their finances. The session was very fruitful; they participated with passion and shared their life experiences that were relevant to the content of the session. Sindi was so excited, she even wrote an article about the session on their Facebook page, appreciating the impact of the training on them as the organisation (screenshot of the article attached). One lady entertained us with ululation when she received her certificate at the end of the session. After the session, I was approached by 2 participants, asking me to arrange other sessions with their communities, I managed to secure 2 modules for Efolweni Community, and that will lead us to the next impact story.
For the young people of Kwaggafontein D, we saw how financial literacy was much of a need as 2 sessions had to be conducted at the Ndzundza Traditional House. The local chief welcomed this program with warm hands encouraged for future programs that work to develop the society especially young people.
