The Fortune Foundation's mission is to foster financial literacy among school children in Zimbabwe by simplifying the teaching of financial management principles. Understanding finances is vital for personal and organizational success, driving national progress. The Foundation's aim is to start building these skills early on through its "catch them young" approach.
Our vision is to empower children and young people socially and economically, empowering them to become catalysts for change in their own lives and fostering a more equitable world.
In today's rapidly changing world, children face a myriad of challenges and opportunities, from economic uncertainties to technological advancements. The Fortune Foundation recognizes the significance of equipping children, particularly girls, with both social and financial skills to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Since its establishment in 2017, the Fortune Foundation has remained committed to empowering high school students with essential financial literacy skills. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that cultivating soft skills like problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and financial management can facilitate the transition of young individuals into the workforce, enabling them to become proactive and responsible members of their households and communities. However, whether within the educational system or beyond, children and youth often encounter limited opportunities to develop these skills.
Through tailored social and financial education programs designed for various age groups, the Fortune Foundation seeks to address this skills gap by enhancing children and youth's self-awareness, confidence, and understanding of their rights and responsibilities. These programs also aim to equip them with practical knowledge and skills in areas such as financial management, resource allocation, and effective decision-making. In response to requests from educators, our offerings have expanded to include training in Ethical Decision Making and Business Management skills.
