Wealth Building Project
“The Wealth Building Project: Strengthening Single Mothers One Budget At A Time” provides financial education that restores and heals families economically. This 10 week program guides participants to financial freedom by teaching financial management principles through the proper use of the monthly budget as a financial tool. Single mother families will develop disciplines that lead to debt free living, financial independence and building financial wealth. This project will directly contribute to economic literacy by providing women with the practical financial knowledge that enables them to make informed decisions and choices regarding basic savings, credit management, retirement planning, and homeownership.
