Emmanuel Nqabeni, facilitator from Avocado Vision, says: “The company offers soft skills programmes for communities.

“I work as a facilitator for the company and have been working with communities for the past six years.

“This programme is focusing on Covid-19 safety guidelines; we want to create awareness by ensuring people have the necessary knowledge about the virus.

“We have also featured financial literacy which will focus on educating young people about money, how to create a monthly budget and how to change their financial situations for the better.”

The financial module is divided into three parts: Managing Risk, Managing Debt and Basic Information about banking.
