The statistics regarding financial literacy are very troubling: More than half of South Africans are unable to pass a basic financial literacy test. They do not understand interest rates, debt and how to budget. The consequences of lacking this basic knowledge are dire, including the potential of incurring massive debt and going bankrupt. It is because of these reasons that I took it upon myself to be the change that I want to see and provide basic financial literacy to various stakeholders in hopes of broadening socio-economic inclusion as well as addressing the knowledge gap in ways that work. – Victoria Elias
