“Financial illiteracy is not an issue unique to any one population. It affects everyone: men and women, young and old, across all racial and socioeconomic lines. No longer can we stand by and ignore this problem. The economic future of South Africa depends on it.”
Ivan Christo Swartz
Scholars and graduates spend many years gaining skills that will help them command a higher salary; yet little or no time is spent helping them save, invest and grow their money. You have to understand the language of money. The widespread deficit in financial literacy has raised a good deal of concern among government agencies, policymakers, and leaders in the community and business sectors. There are several reasons for this concern.
In partnership with Grant Cardone Foundation a basic introduction to financial education and literacy program is carefully implemented amongst the youth in South Africa.
Robert Kiyosaki said “We were not taught financial literacy in school. It takes a lot of work and time to change your thinking and to become financially literate.”
We would like to be a part of that change and we are on route to train and equip 30 000 youth in South Africa with financial literacy over the next three years. Teachers are the single most important influence on student and the youths’ success. We want to have direct impact both on short-term student outcomes and on their long-term financial well-being. Swartz concluded.
