When Maria, a single mother of two, walked into Family Builds Global, she was overwhelmed with financial stress. Living paycheck to paycheck, she struggled to cover basic needs, let alone plan for the future. She often had to choose between paying rent, buying groceries, or covering school expenses for her children.
Maria knew she needed guidance but didn’t know where to start. That’s when she discovered our Financial Literacy for the Future program, designed to educate individuals on budgeting, saving, and long-term financial planning.
Through a series of workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions, Maria learned how to manage her finances more effectively. She created a budget, reduced unnecessary expenses, and opened a savings account for the first time. With the help of our financial advisors, she also developed a debt repayment plan, improving her credit score in just six months.
But Maria’s transformation didn’t stop there. She went on to attend our entrepreneurship workshop, where she learned how to start a small business. Today, she runs a successful online boutique, allowing her to provide for her children without financial stress.
“I never thought financial stability was possible for me, but Family Builds Global gave me the tools to take control of my future. Now, I can give my kids the opportunities I never had,” Maria shares.
Her journey is a testament to the power of financial education in breaking cycles of poverty and empowering families to build brighter futures.
