Financial literacy

Financial literacy is about more than understanding money. It is about creating opportunity, enabling informed choices and giving the next generation greater confidence to shape their futures. Over the past three years, the ResponsibleME Citadel Investing for Young Adults programme has reached more than 96,400 learners across 102 no-fee-paying schools in six provinces. What began in the Western and Eastern Cape has since expanded to Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the North West and Northern Cape.
