Local entrepreneurs shine at graduation ceremony

Empowering South African entrepreneurs by inspiring a change in the country's current unemployment situation through financial and business education, the Financial Literacy and Micro-enterprise (FLAME) programme saw 28 local entrepreneurs graduate at a ceremony held in Mossel Bay on 16 October.

The programme was made possible through the ASISA Foundation. The Foundation is the nonprofit arm of the Association for Savings and Investments in South Africa (ASISA), established with the intent to enable financial inclusion while empowering individuals with financial education.

FLAME continues to unlock economic potential in underserved communities.

The programme in the Garden Route was launched in July last year and saw its graduates spending 12 months receiving hands-on business development support training. It specialises in personal and business financial literacy knowledge and skills to empower entrepreneurs to make informed and effective financial decisions that will benefit their lives and businesses.
