Jedca Media – CFK Africa Programs Manager, Mediatrix Tuju, Emphasizes Importance of Financial Literacy

Kenyans have been urged to prioritize financial literacy as a major approach to improve household stability and support children’s education across informal settlements.

Speaking during an event held in Kajiado County, CFK Africa Program Manager Mediatrix Tuju emphasized that financial literacy is crucial in ensuring households get daily requirements including food and even education for their children.

According to Tuju, empowering households financially, parents can better support their children’s education not only by providing meals but also by meeting basic academic needs like school fees and stationery.

“Financial empowerment is education in itself. When parents understand how to manage their resources wisely, they’re better positioned to keep their children in school, purchase necessary learning materials, and plan for long-term success,” she said.
