More about this project
Two five-week financial literacy courses took place in urban and rural community settings.
Doras also developed an online course with interactive activities and quizzes.
Facilitators created a Financial Literacy Toolkit with illustrations, worksheets, links to services, and accessible animations.
The project reframed financial literacy as a core life skill, not just technical knowledge.
“The course was very helpful because the information was targeted to our situation. It helped me understand my spending better and how to plan my money more carefully.” - quote from a learner
