Surviving in the Real World Simulated Workshops

Introducing “Surviving in the Real World” – simulated financial literacy interactive workshops, a program designed to change the mindset of students and young adults living in poverty or those who are unaware of the challenges they may face in the real world. Our workshops aim to assist students and young adults in making better financial decisions, building wealth, and becoming financially empowered. Through hands-on activities, participants can assess their financial readiness and determine whether their choices have brought them closer to financial success or poverty. Our workshops are a valuable investment for students, parents, or young adults in securing their financial futures.
