Overview
At Whai Rawa improving and increasing understanding of financial capability and literacy is a key objective in our journey to create better futures for whānau. Financial wellbeing is about having the ability to make informed judgements and make effective decisions regarding the use and management of money. It is seen as a spectrum covering financial knowledge and the understanding, confidence and motivation to make financial judgements and decisions.
Whai Rawa Fund Limited (WRFL) are currently developing a strategic framework to establish an updated Financial Capability Strategy for implementation by exploring how we can deliver a collaborative Financial Capability programme focusing on financial mechanisms that support our key value drivers;
- Whānau centric
