As a pioneering financial literacy organisation, we are dedicated to transforming the education landscape and disseminating crucial financial knowledge, particularly among South Africa’s youth.

I was a recipient of the 2024 Mail and Guardian Award: The Power of Women in the category of Business and Entrepreneurship. This award reflects my commitment to driving transformative change in financial education and support for young entrepreneurs. In the past year, we have made significant strides in our mission, including:

Innovative Solutions:

Smart Money with V actively challenges the limitations of the traditional education system, which often produces followers instead of leaders. Our vision for the establishment of the Smart Money Academy is to create an environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Our developing educational initiative, the Smart Money Quiz board game, is designed to instil essential financial skills in children, promoting problem-solving and analytical thinking from an early age.

Support for SMMEs and NPOs:

We have been instrumental in assisting Non-Profit Organizations NPOs and SMMEs with tailored services in financial management, compliance, and business management education. Our goal is to equip these organizations with the foundational skills necessary for establishing and sustaining their ventures, thereby fostering a thriving business ecosystem.

Job Creation and Collaboration:

Once formally established, the Smart Money Academy will focus on creating jobs by training and employing unemployed graduates and skilled community members who have experienced retrenchment.

Community Impact:

Our dedication to financial literacy extends beyond individuals. Through partnerships with community organizations and educational institutions, we cultivate an ecosystem where learning and growth thrive. Our digital platforms—including social media and webinars—amplify our reach, ensuring our message of financial empowerment is accessible to all.

Smart Money with V exemplifies innovation in financial education and community development. Our unique approach equips individuals with essential skills while transforming the educational landscape to foster future leaders.
