Over 5,000 people have already benfited from the project in
Korogocho, Nairobi, Kenya and Kariakoo, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
The results have been remarkable.
Against a baseline survey; interviews with people
who have received financial education in Korogocho show a
39% rise in those who say they are
saving; a 125% rise in the number
of people sticking to budgets; and a 50%
fall in those admitting to sometimes skipping loan
repayments.
CI members Consumer Information Network (CIN) and Youth
Education Network (YEN) in Kenya, and the Tanzania Consumers
Advocacy Society (TCAS) carried out the counselling and also
provided the evaluation data. They completed interviews with nearly
300 respondents before and after receiving the financial education
counselling.
