Our MfM Training, to be delivered through boot camps and team building workshops, promotes a financial self-care approach that cultivates positive behaviors and improves financial circumstances. This is HOTA’s newest additions to its programs and its likely to commence next year at the new LCM hub as the manual is going through the final stages of compilation. MfM participants are expected to learn to recognize the significance of their financial decisions and adopt positive behaviors related to earning, spending, saving, sharing, and borrowing.
