Empowering South Africans with sustainable financial knowledge since 2015
GreenFinance Academy was founded in 2015 with a simple yet powerful mission: to make financial education accessible to all South Africans while promoting sustainable financial practices that benefit both individuals and the planet.
What began as a small workshop series in Durban has grown into a comprehensive financial education platform serving students across South Africa and beyond. Our growth has been fueled by our commitment to quality education, practical financial strategies, and a focus on sustainable investment approaches.
Today, GreenFinance Academy stands as a leader in financial literacy education in South Africa, having helped thousands of individuals take control of their financial futures while making environmentally and socially responsible choices.
