EdTechReview.in has recently partnered with Mukuru, a leading next-generation financial services platform, to deliver financial literacy education to its users. The collaboration, called Mukuru Money Matters, will provide free financial literacy training to its customers and the general public through an online platform.
Mukuru Money Matters is currently available through WhatsApp, with plans to make it available on the Mukuru website and app soon. The platform will cover four main themes: essential money and wealth principles, budgeting as a skill, the necessity of saving, and adequately using credit and debt. It aims to empower individuals with practical knowledge for making informed financial decisions.
The primary purpose of the initiative is to enable genuine financial inclusion. According to Deidré Vrede, the CSI manager for Mukuru, technology may bridge the divide, but financial education is critical in empowering true financial inclusion. Vrede added: “As we journey with our customers up the financial ladder from pure cash-based transactions to ever more sophisticated digital products, we want to provide them with the tools needed to make positive financial decisions. Our education platform aims to equip our customers with the knowledge they need to make sound financial decisions.”
The partnership between Mukuru and Digemy, an online learning platform, is significant. Both companies believe in the importance of education in general and financial literacy in particular. By combining their software and reach, they hope to make a significant difference in the lives of their consumers.
For teachers, this partnership provides an opportunity to better educate their students on financial literacy. The platform is designed to make financial literacy education more accessible and engaging for students, empowering them with the knowledge they need to make sound financial decisions in the future.
