A major investment has been made to improve the financial health and literacy of vulnerable Barbadian families.
The Barbados Public Workers Co-op Credit Union Limited presented sponsorship of $12,000 to the Ministry of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs’ One Family Programme.
The funds will directly support the delivery of comprehensive financial counselling and management sessions to eligible families under the One Family Programme.
Starting from June, the credit union’s trained financial wellness partners will work with the target families, covering topics including budgeting, saving, debt management, and setting achievable financial goals.
Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, Kirk Humphrey, says the programme welcomes the credit union as a partner in the ongoing effort to promote financial literacy and empower at-risk Barbadian families with essential money management skills.
Meanwhile, the credit union’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Gail Niles-Best, says the sponsorship forms part of the company’s long-standing commitment to strengthening communities through education and financial empowerment.
