Old Mutual Malawi Financial Education Manager Bernard Chiluzi has urged learners in Secondary Schools to develop a saving culture as they prepare to go to Universities.

Chiluzi said this at Ndirande Hill Secondary School where Old Mutual Malawi in conjunction with the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) conducted financial literacy and career guidance to the students.

During the training session, Chiluzi urged to be saving from the little they get from their parents as transport money every day.

“As Secondary school learners start planning for your future now by developing the culture of saving from the little you get from your parents as transport money. Focus on your future now by saving the litte,” said Chiluzi.

One of the learners at the school identified as Mphatso Salamba hailed Old Mutual for the timely session.

“Through this session I have learnt that I can save some money from the transport that I get from my parents through Phuka on Airtel and Mpamba Fesa on Tnm and get some interests by the end of the month. I have also learnt that I can start up a small business like keeping chickens and the money generated from the sales I can invest it through the said digital platform,” said Salamba.

Salamba has since urged her fellow learners to put into practice whatever they have grabbed from the lessons.

This year’s global money week is being observed under theme: “Think Before You Follow, Wise Money Tomorrow.”
