Project Background
Sanga Meat Company, a leading meat processing company in Uganda, recognized the importance of financial literacy in enhancing the well-being of their employees. They approached us to design and deliver a comprehensive financial literacy training program that would cater to the unique needs of their workforce.

Based on the findings of the needs assessment, a comprehensive training program was designed to address the financial literacy needs of employees. The training program covered topics such as financial goal-setting, budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.
The training program was delivered through interactive sessions, group discussions, and case studies. Employees were also provided with personalized financial planning tools and resources to help them develop financial plans and budgets.

The evaluation revealed that employees demonstrated a significant improvement in their financial knowledge and understanding of basic financial concepts.
