Financial literacy is a powerful tool to uplift communities and ensure customers can confidently manage their finances. A financial literacy programme has been developed through partnerships with educational organisations to ensure that areas of basic financial literacy are presented to the community in an informative and interactive manner.
The effect on customers is inspiring as they take control of their finances and make financial decisions that have a lasting impact on the long-term wellbeing of themselves and their families.
One of our mine-working customers was so motivated after attending the debt management seminar that he jumped on the desk and shouted, “The Mashonisa’s have caught me once, but they will never, never catch me again!”
The following quotes are from some of our customers who attended this course and expressed their appreciation:
“The course is already changing my life and I have not started to apply the principles I have learnt”
“I have learned that it is important to budget and be disciplined and not just spend aimlessly”
“I came in darkness. Like a man from the wilderness, I have gained so much that I can even be able to impart knowledge to my colleagues on interest issues and buying cash or hire purchase, because now I will take the time to make a purchase decision”
“I have learned how good it is to manage my money and understand my rights”
“I need to make sure that I understand everything that I get myself into”
“I am going to sit with my family and go through the file and get a better understanding and impart what I have learned to my children”
