The Financial Literacy Programme is a financial education initiative created to teach you how to best manage your finances. The programme is based on the behaviours of Africa’s Big Five animals. The unique characteristics of the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo, as found in nature, have been distilled to teach us how to manage our personal and family finances. The program helps young people to explain the importance of managing their personal finances, acknowledge their current “money” personality, understand the importance of changing their financial behaviour and demonstrate how they can break old habits that get in the way of financial stability and establish new ones.
Financial literacy will include financial planning; learning how to track your money; Introduction to investing opportunities in stocks, real estate and businesses; budgeting and cashflow management; saving and Leveraging Debt to name a few.

Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood during which adolescents develop biologically and psychologically and move towards independence
Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood during which adolescents develop biologically and psychologically and move towards independence. Although we may think of adolescents as a healthy group, many die prematurely and unnecessarily through accidents, suicide, violence and pregnancy-related complications. Some of the serious conditions of adulthood (for example, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), like HIV; and tobacco use) have their roots in adolescent behaviour.
The overall goal of the ASRH and Life-skills program is to equip young people with tools they need to live a more productive and fulfilling life. Life skills are critical to young people’s ability to positively adapt to and deal with the demands and challenges of life. These lessons are also applicable to a wide range of sexual and reproductive health for youth.
Biological and psycho-social changes during adolescence
We take into consideration the stress that come with change and provide programs that serve adolescent well such as sexual and reproductive health education, physical health, risky behaviors for adolescents and more. Mentally engaging activities, physical exercises/sports/tournaments and socially constructive programs for adolescent (10-19 years) are some of the ways we employ to engage them through our organisation.
Changes in thinking and reasoning (cognition)
Children tend to be concrete thinkers, mostly relying on literal, straightforward interpretation of ideas. In adolescence they become abstract thinkers, as they begin to be able to think abstractly and to conceptualise abstract ideas such as love, justice, fairness, truth and spirituality.
They start to analyse situations logically in terms of cause and effect, think about their futures, evaluate alternatives, set personal goals and make mature decisions. As their abilities to think and reason increase, adolescents will become increasingly independent, and take on increased responsibilities. They will also often challenge the ideas of the adults in their community and this can lead to friction
Physical changes
Puberty is the time in which sexual and physical characteristics mature. The exact age a child enters puberty depends on a number of different things, such as genes, nutrition and sex. Most girls and boys enter puberty between 10-16 years of age although some start earlier or later. Girls tend to enter puberty two years before boys.
Social and emotional changes
As adolescents grow physically they also think and feel differently. Some of these changes in the way they think are a consequence of growing older and learning more about the world and the way other people think and behave. But changes in the way they feel are more likely to be a consequence of the hormonal changes in their bodies. These changed feelings can often be a source of confusion and unhappiness.
