Diversified financial services group Old Mutual Zimbabwe, in collaboration with Audacious Women hosted a financial literacy training meant to empower women with financial expertise.
“The partnership with Audacious Women aimed to not only equip women with financial expertise but also empower women-led firms to grow from startups to substantial organizations that contribute significantly to the national economy,” said Lillian Mbayiwa, Old Mutual Zimbabwe’s group marketing, public affairs and sustainability executive.
The training was held at the Zimbabwe Agricultural Showgrounds last Friday as part of Old Mutual’s commitment to championing financial education for previously marginalized groups.
The collaboration with Audacious Women, a women-only organization established in 2021, was an empowering platform for women to acquire valuable financial knowledge and skills, Mbaiwa said.
Over 300 women have been trained under the collaboration.
Old Mutual's financial education program, "On The Money," has been instrumental in promoting financial literacy and driving financial inclusion. The training sessions are open to everyone at no cost across the country.
