Equity Fika Graduation

Equity bank plans to train 1 million young people in business and finance skills through its financial knowledge for Africa initiative, FIKA, which it supports in conjunction with the MasterCard foundation. The programme estimated to cost 1 billion shillings has already trained 57000 people and 26000 have proceeded to receive credit for their business plans. While graduating 93 students from the 12 week programme at the Africa Nazarene University, Equity Bank chief executive and chairman of the Equity Bank Foundation James Mwangi said that it is not enough to provide financial resources without equipping borrowers with requisite knowledge to manage the resources and lift themselves and families out of poverty.
