    Alumni

    Saver Waya Waya WageWise is a consumer education programme, targeted specifically at workers. WageWise is a tried and tested financial education programme designed to give workers tools to effectively manage their finances. Strains on workers’ finances mean that they are not adequately prepared for paying for their children’s education, saving for retirement, or coping with unforeseen emergencies. Financial stress also impacts health and productivity, which ultimately affects employers. Financial education builds financial knowledge, capability, and resilience of workers. The workers are accessed through their employers or through trade unions they may be affiliated with. WageWise is supported by the Sanlam Foundation. What's New?

    FLAME

    The ASISA Foundation’s Financial Literacy and Micro-Enterprise (FLAME) programme provides entrepreneurship training and support to micro-enterprise owners in township and rural areas. Using an accredited business development methodology, the programme equips small business owners with the skills and tools they need to sustainably develop and grow their businesses. FLAME beneficiaries are small business owners, aligned with the Financial Sector Code requirements. Participants must be owners of small, medium and micro-enterprises (qualifying as exempt micro-enterprises) generating less than R1 million in revenue per year. FLAME places an emphasis on training black South African citizens who earn less that R350 000 per year. The programme aims to ensure that 85% of participants are black and 40% female. FLAME is a multi-phase training programme. The programme is delivered over an 18-month period, using a combination of in-person workshops, business coaching and personal mentoring interventions.

    L+EARN

    # SecureTheBag PROGRAMME In 2022, the Saver Waya Waya L+EARN #SecureTheBag programme was rolled out to 22 universities and six Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges across all nine provinces. Content for this programme is primarily focused on consumer financial education, entrepreneurship, side hustles and work readiness to improve youth employability and future earnings, and to develop healthy, sustainable financial behaviors. University students DEMOGRAPHICS To cater to this cohort, a blended learning approach was adopted, comprising an initial face-to-face workshop, followed by a series of six one-hour webinars conducted on Zoom. Additionally, engagement on the Zlto platform and supplementary support from the L+EARN website were provided to reinforce the webinar content. TVET College students These students’ learning journey included an initial in-person industrial theatre session, followed by two in-person workshops. In addition, they participated in a WAB learning journey, engaged on the Zlto platform, and had access to a closed Facebook group and the L+EARN website for further support and reinforcement of workshop content. Impact Achieved The impact assessment conducted with students who participated in our L+EARN #Secure the Bag programme at tertiary institutions was hugely encouraging, and confirms the power and potential for infinite impact by educating young adults at this stage of their lives. According to independent M&E results, the programme achieved successful knowledge transfer, although it varied across different module topics. This culminated in positive attitude shifts and an improvement in how students manage their money. This finding was consistent with previous assessments and was further confirmed by the survey results. Even in cases where participants did not make significant changes in how they managed their finances, they were still able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the concepts discussed during the in-depth interviews. Participants demonstrated positive attitude shifts and behavior changes, as they reported improved money management compared to their previous practices. Since inception, the L+EARN #SecureTheBag programme has reached 8 700 students and young entrepreneurs (54% female, 88% Black South African) in all nine South African provinces.
