The parents (mostly single mothers) in our Family Empowerment Program have begun studying the first module of AJ’s Financial Literacy curriculum on beliefs. Thinking about and realizing the origin of their beliefs and how they shape your thoughts, actions, decisions, and self-image has been a new concept for our parents. With the support of their self-help groups and #AJStaff, and after much discussion, the parents have been able to understand their lives and experiences through the perspective of their beliefs progressing from childhood until now. Through this new understanding, they have been able to identify the positives and negatives of their core beliefs and declare the changes they want to make in the future.
