Testimonials

"Before the course, sometimes we would withdraw savings and use them because we didn’t have enough money, now we’re saving from my wages – that’s a good thing. We go to the shops and buy only the things that we need, we don’t buy everything."

Niusila, Van den Brinks – Course graduate
