Creating money savvy children
Financial education from a young age provides a powerful head start in life.
Not only the domain of adults, the importance of financial security and the ability to manage one’s finances is something that all children should learn about from an early age.
To this end, National Treasury, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the National Consumer Financial Education Committee have rolled out Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA) between March 22 and 28.
A national financial literacy campaign, the initiative aims to motivate and empower South Africans, especially the youth, to become better educated about their finances.
As part of this year’s MSWSA campaign, Money Savvy Kids will be hosting an online event to get children investing and teach them about creating passive income streams through savings and investment strategies.
This event is being live-streamed at 10am on March 27 on www.mswsa.co.za
This website has also been zero-rated for the duration of the week to enable as many people as possible to learn more about how to better manage their money.
Money Savvy Kids founder Kathryn Main is an author and multi-award-winning businesswoman with a passion to change the face of education on the African continent through financial literacy education and training.
Her Money Savvy workshops aim to infuse children, from a very young age, with the problem-solving and critical thinking skills they need to make financial decisions now and in the future.
