Financial Education Training
“Training based on adult pedagogy tools to enhance the financial management skills and capabilities of the women”
SWS delivers module-based workshops with certification in four subject areas: Savings, Budgeting, Debt Management and Financial Transactions. The trainings are conducted within the community with groups of 10-15 candidates. These equip low-income women with the requisite skills for better financial management and help them run businesses with more confidence.
- Training on financial management topics covered as part of the training sessions enabled women to maintain budgets for their household.
- 33% increase in average household income reported by women entrepreneurs after attending financial education training.
- The main reasons reported for this increase included the expansion of enterprises (42% of businesses), improved financial management (17% of businesses) and improved quality of products and services (9% of businesses).
- 78% of trainees developed the capacity to separate their household and business expenditures which allowed them to keep a better lookout for the profitability and the performance of their ventures.
- Though the trainees had been saving in the past, better savings mechanisms learnt through the training enabled around 63% of them to increase the amount they saved every month.
"Testimonial"
“I’m amazed at how basic concepts of savings and budgeting can boost business incomes tremendously. The power to be the change is in the hands of a financially independent woman and she herself is the driver to positively impact her family,” Shabana Ashfaq, Gujjranwala.
