The first pilot of Project EIFL X Liluye has officially ended. We hope to get funding to create a second cohort in the future.
The program, or the Project EIFL X Liluye Financial Literacy Program, is an impactful online program that’s led, hosted, and facilitated by Tarun Masapeta and his team (from Project EIFL). The pilot was held over a four-month time period and was for trafficking survivors in the U.S. and Canada in a cohort of two.
It was a safe, supportive community that educated and empowered survivors to help them gain financial independence and freedom to live their lives on their own terms. It featured up to seven different financial topics that was taught on separate, 45-minute Zoom workshops. After the completion of the entire program, the attendees were provided with a financial resource guidebook to help them afterwards.
The program covered the following:
• How to open a bank account (step by step).
• Introduction to personal financing.
• How to calculate taxes (where to set them aside, where to put them, how to reinvest them, how to do balance sheets, and what is taxable).
• Introduction to investing.
• Reinvesting in business and/or organizational financial literacy or as an individual.
• Personal financing (paying yourself and where to put your money).
• Insurance.
We hope to make this program accessible and tailored to other countries in the future.
