Participant views of financial educationParticipant views of financial education“It’s different, in school we learn mathematics and biology but here we learn things that we can use in the future.” - female age 16 years, enrolled in school
“We learnt about budgeting and saving and all those things, because we only think that when we get money we spend it. This program was like an eye-opener to us, because, we know now when we get some money, we have to save something…”
- male age 22 years, not enrolled in school

Participant views of health education
“….. I didn’t understand about HIV and AIDS before
but now I do. I didn’t learn that in school.” –female age 20 years, not enrolled in school
