The Financial Literacy and Micro-Enterprise (FLAME) programme provides entrepreneurship training and support to micro-enterprise owners in township and rural areas. FLAME enhances financial literacy and business capability through the transfer of knowledge and skills, and reinforces positive behaviours and attitudes through the provision of a series of in-person workshops, business coaching and personal mentoring interventions.
FLAME is a multi-phase, 18-month, deep intervention programme which results in tangible outcomes and powerful infinite impact. Since inception, the programme has reached 1 531 people (64% female, 99% Black South African) in Gauteng, North West, Western Cape and Eastern Cape.
