Financial literacy & capacity building for gig and contract workers
Nia works with migrant gig and contract workers, helping them relocate for work without losing the value they've built each time they move. They approached Illunet to bring our entrepreneurial capacity-building and financial literacy program to their members — teaching people how to compound the value of their income through effective savings, sound financial habits, the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, and everyday digital literacy.
