“2021 was a huge year for CFLE Africa – not only for our team, but for all our strategic partners, volunteers, collaborators and stakeholders, who over the years have been supporting our mission and worked with us. Thank you for making our goal of raising communities of financial literates possible, and for being a part of this incredible mission. “Our activities in 2021 directly and indirectly touched not less than 2,021 people.” Our vision of an Africa in which all people are financially aware and financially literate is on course. Let’s do more in 2022!!!”
Year Under Review
After a crazy and wild 2020 that brought the beginning of a pandemic, a lot of uncertainty, and some unbelievable experiences, 2021 didn’t give us much of a break.
A lot of us was hoping we would return back to “normal” but it ended up being an acceptance of a different kind of normal.
As we tie the final bows on a more than eventful 2021, let’s take a look back at some of our incredible achievements from this year.
In March, 2021 we worked with University of Ghana Business School and The Financial Awareness Foundation (USA) to officially launched “The Improving Financial Awareness and Financial Literacy Movement in Ghana” (http://www.thefinancialawarenessfoundation.org/pdf/TFAF-TIFA-FLMovement-Ghana-ExecSum.pdf) and went ahead to declared and observed “April as Financial Literacy Month.” We (www.cfleafrica.org) helped established the first International Improving Financial Awareness and Financial Literacy Association at University of Ghana Business School (https://ugbs.ug.edu.gh/association).
The Movement (http://www.thefinancialawarenessfoundation.org/pdf/TFAF-Ghana-JoinTheMovement-PersonalFinKnowledge.pdf) in 2021 touched not less than 50,000 people directly and indirectly through our two campaign venues; April as Financial Literacy Month and October as Estate and Gift Planning Awareness Month.
We helped expand The Improving Financial Awareness and Financial Literacy Movement across Africa. Currently, we are in 6 African countries and still counting (https://www.home.thefinancialawarenessfoundation.org/pdf/TFAF-Africa-TIFA-FLM.pdf)… we are working with some of the great universities across the continent.
In partnership with The Financial Awareness Foundation (USA), we recently launched “The FA Youth Movement” to serve as a catalyst for intensive financial literacy education among young people across the globe in 2022.
In June 2021, we worked with Sage Financial Solutions to trained 20 Community Service Financial Literacy Advocates. These are young professionals who are passionate about social change initiatives and taking up an active leadership role in their various communities to champion the message of financial awareness and financial education. This was a 6 weeks intensive financial coaching training with project works.
In October, 2021 we launched Estate and Gift Planning Awareness Month Campaign to enlighten people on estate planning and giftings.
Other activities include Media Campaigns, Social Media Campaigns, Webinars and Seminars all geared towards creating massive financial awareness and financial literacy education.
That’s a wrap for 2021. But we can’t wait to share what next year has in store for us, our strategic partners, volunteers, collaborators and stakeholders. Until then, keep supporting our mission.
We believe a financially aware and a financially literate society is necessary to survive the global financial crisis and ensure stable economic growth.
We want to impact more lives in 2022. Make a gift towards our course;
