“Women are the real architects of society” — Harriet Beecher Stowe
Financial independence is one of the most empowering things. With women increasingly contributing in greater numbers to the workforce in our country, financial independence has become critical. While the basics of managing money are gender neutral, women do face some unique challenges. Women have different values and goals. What women have in common is a desire for being independent and secure when they work with money.
The Golden Purse program is about understanding money and knowing how to work with one self and one’s family to make the best of the financial resources we have. The program is designed to enable women to meet their financial goals, improve their financial knowledge and create an awareness about investment options to enable participants to critically analyze financial decisions.
This intervention is designed to enable women to manage finances better and create an awareness on financial issues.
