Launched in September 2023, the "Scam Slam" campaign is a testament to The Youth Cafe and Africa Check’s dedication to enhancing public awareness, especially among the youth. We believe equipping our youth with a solid understanding of financial literacy concepts is crucial. "Scam Slam" entails a variety of vital topics - from recognising and establishing one’s financial values, understanding the profound effects of advertising, and providing indispensable financial advice for young adults to shedding light on effective job-search strategies. More importantly, we've focused heavily on empowering individuals with the knowledge to recognise, avoid, and react appropriately to online scams and dubious financial information.
