April marks the globally-recognised Financial Literacy Month, a time dedicated to enhancing financial knowledge and empowering individuals to make sound financial decisions. 

Namibia proudly joins this worldwide initiative, reinforcing its commitment to financial education as a cornerstone of economic prosperity.

Old Mutual Namibia celebrates World Financial Literacy Month, reaffirming its dedication to fostering financial empowerment across the nation.  As a long-time champion of financial literacy, Old Mutual has embedded financial education into its core values and ethos. 

Last year, the company successfully trained 8 150 Namibians, equipping them with the skills to take control of their financial future. 

This year, the goal is even more ambitious – to reach and empower 8 500 more Namibians through the face-to-face training of the On The Money (OTM) financial education module.

Old Mutual is a platform supporter of the Financial Literacy Initiative (FLI), a national platform launched by the finance ministry.

It brings together over 30 platform partners who are committed to advancing financial literacy in Namibia. 

“Financial literacy is not just about numbers. It’s about enabling individuals to take charge of their financial well-being, and make informed decisions that foster economic and personal growth,” said Mignon du Preez, Old Mutual Namibia’s executive for group marketing, public affairs and sustainability. 

“By investing in financial education, we are empowering Namibians with the knowledge and confidence needed to secure their financial future,” she said.

The time for action is now. 

Through strategic training programmes, digital learning platforms, workplace financial wellness activities and community engagement, Old Mutual Namibia remains committed to ensuring that financial literacy is within reach for all. Together, we can build a financially- empowered Namibia, where knowledge opens doors, creates opportunities and secures a brighter future for generations to come.
