What women say about learning with Proseva

Starting point

Mardiana had been out of paid work for four years looking after her children. When she returned to employment, she found her sense of her own finances had become foggy — she wasn't confident reading her new payslip and had no system for managing two incomes in the household.

What she worked on

Mardiana enrolled in the five-week Money Confidence Course. Over the five sessions she worked through payslip literacy, built a joint household budget with her husband and used the peer circle to talk through the practical challenges of managing irregular childcare costs.

What shifted

Three months after completing the course, Mardiana reported that she was reviewing the family budget monthly with confidence and had started putting aside a small, consistent amount each month — something she said had felt impossible before.

Starting point

Six months into her first graduate job, Kavitha found that she consistently ran out of money before the end of the month. She knew she was spending on things she didn't need, but the standard advice — "just make a budget" — hadn't led anywhere.

What she worked on

Kavitha joined the community workshop first, then went on to the five-week course the following month. The workshop gave her a workable framework; the course helped her understand the habits behind her spending patterns and build more intentional routines.

What shifted

By week three of the course, Kavitha noted she had stopped making unplanned purchases in the first week after payday. She described the change as less about restriction and more about understanding where she wanted her money to go.

Starting point

Zarina had been running her catering business for three years but kept her personal and business spending in the same account. Month to month she never knew if the business was covering its own costs or whether she was subsidising it from personal funds.

What she worked on

Zarina enrolled in the Complete Money Empowerment Programme. The self-paced modules let her move through the business-adjacent content at a pace that worked around her irregular catering schedule. The three months of group support meant she could return with questions as situations arose.

What shifted

Zarina separated her accounts two weeks into the programme. She described the support period as the most valuable part — having people to check in with as she tested what she'd learned in real situations made the difference between applying the learning and letting it sit.
