The program, which covers budgeting, savings, debt management and financial services and products has trained over 2.5 million people.

Having recognized the diverse financial needs of the people of Africa, we developed a tailored training curriculum for the various target groups, delivered in two approaches:

  1. Classroom approach: This is on experiential and practical basis, through the use of adult learning principles.
  2. Digital approach: This is a supplementary learning approach where learning information is embedded in the Equitel SIM in easy to read formats.
