Newly-arrived clients from Cuba participate in a KRM financial literacy workshop.
Providing refugees with the knowledge and confidence they need to access banking services and manage their personal finances on their own is an important first step on their path to self-sufficiency. All newly-arrived KRM clients participate in intensive practical workshops on using a checking account, bill paying, and household financial management. In combination with World of Work orientations explaining payroll tax deductions and employee-sponsored medical insurance plans, these financial literacy classes ensure that refugees start out with the knowledge they need to make smart, informed choices as they work to build a secure economic future for their families.
