Cohort 7
Summary:
Through this KAFI module on Savings and Budgeting, I learned that financial success begins with discipline, planning, and consistency. Saving means setting aside part of your income for future needs, while budgeting is the plan that guides how you spend and save money. Both work hand in hand to give you control over your finances and help you achieve short- and long-term goals.
I learned the importance of saving regularly, no matter how small the amount, and the concept of “pay yourself first.” Creating an emergency fund and avoiding lifestyle inflation are key to long-term stability. The 50/30/20 rule also taught me how to divide my income wisely 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings or investments.
This module also showed me how KAFI empowers young leaders to teach students about financial responsibility through fun and practical activities like savings challenges and budgeting games. Overall, I now understand that saving and budgeting are not restrictions but tools for freedom, growth, and financial confidence.

Banking and digital finance help manage and grow money, communication and public speaking enable influence and teaching, business planning turns ideas into sustainable action, and saving with budgeting builds discipline and stability. Together, these lessons equip KAFI leaders to lead confidently, manage resources wisely, and empower others through financial literacy.
