Australia

To solve the problem, an Australian SIFE team planned weekly sessions to help indigenous participants develop basic financial skills and an understanding of the laws of business.

Guatemala
SIFE students in Guatemala used games to teach financial literacy to elementary school children. The project helped the students understand profit margins by allowing them to select a product at a specific cost and then establish a selling price that would ensure a profit. The SIFE team used games that were based on experimental economics and also demonstrated to the children how fixed prices and subsidies can influence sales, revenues and decision making.

Malaysia
A SIFE team in Malaysia taught financial literacy to secondary school students through a workshop that focused on financial planning.

While playing the game, participating students learned how to develop successful investing strategies.

Almost three quarters of small to medium sized enterprises in South Africa cease to exist within two years of operation.

The small businesses are now equipped to be sustainable.
