In a conference held in Melbourne on 5 October 2019, one of the key issues identified for Australia’s South Sudanese communities was a lack of adequate financial education.
Community-based financial education is essential to allowing South Sudanese people in Australia to grow, learn, and contribute to the Australian economy. Many South Sudanese immigrants struggle with financial planning, and this is detrimental, preventing them from managing effective budgets and saving for emergencies and retirement.
Daniel Varone, a former financial planner at Commonwealth Bank with over 17 years of industry experience, offered a free financial literacy workshop to South Sudanese families and individuals in Victoria a few years ago. Recently, Africa World Books received a message from Daniel, who is kindly offering to provide further free financial literacy workshops in Victoria, with plans to expand the program interstate. If you are in Melbourne and wish to attend a workshop, please contact us.
Africa World Books would like to thank Daniel Varone for his community leadership and support.
