Women receive 50% of instruction in a face to face setting and 50% of instruction via mobile phones. I have also written an 9 week financial literacy course tailored to meet the specific needs of refugees in the United States. This course begins with an introduction to U.S. currency before tackling other concepts such as introduction to banking, savings plans and credit options.
