Just over two years ago Cufa crossed paths with the inspirational team at Seedling Giving - Kylie Wallace 🌱 🌸and Jessica Bowman. They connected us with Joe Stephan and James Stephan from Stephan Independent Advisory, who have provided major support - financial and intellectual - for our critical mission to improve economic futures in our region. It has been one amazing journey since the Stephan brothers took that leap of faith back in June 2022. Together we visited PNG in May 2023 where they co-facilitated a financial literacy lesson in a Port Moresby school and experienced the cultural odyssey that is #PNG, and they also prepared three podcasts to share at a Masterclass for our Pathways Unlocked interns in April this year. Our CEO, Darian Clark MA MICDA, was also privileged to be interviewed as part of last year's season of It's Never About Money. We look forward to more opportunities to collaborate and make a difference in the lives of children, youth, women and vulnerable communities in the Asia-Pacific region. #socialimpact #financialliteracy #makeadifference #bettertogether

About us
Cufa fosters empowerment in line with a three pillar strategy targeting how people: (1) earn: through microenterprise and livelihood programs; (2) save: through financial literacy; and (3) invest: through access to digital tools and diverse finance sources. With the generous support of our donors and volunteers, and through our teams in Cambodia, Myanmar and PNG, we work with communities, institutions and governments to address and overcome the causes of poverty.

Today the Cufa #PNG team led by Jehu Lakatani is at The University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) Waigani Campus as part of National Volunteers Day! This event is coordinated by the PNG National Volunteer Services (NVS), the state agency responsible for volunteer placement, with support from the Commonwealth Students Association (CSA) and UPNG Student Council. With the theme " Celebrating Young People in Volunteerism", today is a great opportunity to showcase and highlight young people taking the lead through volunteer organisations. It also provides an opportunity for students to learn about volunteering and how they can be a part of making a difference through volunteering. #socialimpact #makeadifference #financialinclusion #volunteering
