It’s a fun way to show how different financial decisions affect real-life family situations. Participants of the board game have to consider how best to invest and spend their money and achieve their set goals, through a selection of activities like buying a cow, investing in school fees, saving for emergencies etc. Along the way the participants are hit with relatable positive and negative scenarios that they must navigate.
Twogere - A Reproductive Health Assessment Too
Twogere is an engagement tool that targets both young women and men of reproductive age (17 years+). The tool includes reflective scenarios that allow participants to respond using a player game-board that is then assessed by the group facilitator.
