Mentorship Tour Helps Young People Build Financial Skills
Story 3
A nationwide mentorship tour is helping young people learn about saving, budgeting, investing and financial planning from an early age. The initiative is led by mentor and speaker Ashirus Monhla, who recently hosted a free youth talk in Melrose, Johannesburg.
Monhla says financial literacy is becoming increasingly important as young people prepare for changing economic conditions and future job challenges.
Through school and university visits, the tour encourages young people to build confidence, think long term and learn from experienced mentors.
The programme has already reached thousands of young people through talks, seminars and online sessions across the country.
