Good news from our project. Our initial pilot class was very successful - financial literacy amongst the students improved dramatically, grades improved even as the material became more difficult and a number of students started their own small businesses.
We also coordinated other seminars, one for women in the community and another that was co-sponsored by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, the local MP, and Family Bank to train young entrepreneurs how to access capital.
With the momentum of the above successes we are currently working on a broader partnership with the Ministry whereby we will train Ministry officers on the course we developed so that they can roll the program out independently to high schools across the nation!
