About This Program
The Family Finance Workshop is a unique program designed to transform how Ghanaian families approach money management. Unlike individual financial courses, this workshop brings the entire family together to learn financial principles, creating a unified approach to money matters in your household.
Financial habits are often formed in childhood, yet many children grow up without proper financial education. This comprehensive workshop addresses this gap by providing age-appropriate financial education for all family members, from young children to adults. By learning together, families create a common financial language and shared values around money.
Program Benefits
- Develop a collaborative family approach to budgeting and financial decision-making
- Learn effective methods for teaching children healthy money habits from an early age
- Create a family financial plan that addresses short and long-term goals
- Understand how to navigate financial conversations and decisions as a family unit

Client Reviews
This workshop transformed our family's approach to money. Our children (8 and 12) were fully engaged in the activities, and for the first time, we're all speaking the same language about finances. The save-spend-share method has been especially effective - our kids are now saving for their own goals and even setting aside money for charity. Our family budget meetings have become a positive time for discussion rather than a source of tension.
We've tried other financial programs before, but none addressed how to manage money as a family unit. This workshop filled that gap perfectly. The age-appropriate activities meant our teenagers were just as engaged as our younger child. The section on managing extended family financial expectations was particularly valuable in our Ghanaian context. Since completing the program, we've established clear financial boundaries and a system for teaching our children financial responsibility that respects our cultural values.
As a single parent, I was concerned some of the content might not apply to my situation, but I was pleasantly surprised by how adaptable the program was. My son and I completed the activities together, and it's opened up meaningful conversations about money that we never had before. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would have appreciated more content specifically for single-parent households. That said, we still gained tremendous value from the workshop.
