In this video, certified FE trainer Hilda Thuo explains how the ILO module on financial education has helped develop the resilience of refugee- and host community-led small businesses in Kakuma, Kenya.

Hilda Thuo, Livelihoods Officer with the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and a certified financial education trainer, really appreciates the participatory approach of the ILO module on financial education and finds it highly effective at engaging participants. She is now a strong advocate for promoting financial education and wants to reach out to more business people in the community. The LWF has incorporated financial education into all its livelihood support interventions in Kakuma, Kenya and so far has trained 180 people from refugee and host communities using the ILO's financial education module.
