“We decided to break the home bank. She has been saving since November last year, and I wanted her to break the bank herself because it is her hard work,” he said. Almas’s savings totaled KSh 8,000. Her dad presented her with another home bank, where she will begin saving for next year.
“The notes were KSh 6,800, and the coins were KSh 1200, totalling KSh 8,000. I am positive that as she grows, she will save more,” he added. He urged other parents to encourage their children to save the little change they spare so they grow up knowing the importance of saving.
