Trainer’s profile: Sophie Paine (a+b=3)
Daughter of teachers and grand-daughter of an entrepreneur, Sophie’s vision is a world where financial hardships do not prevent children and adults from getting education and where money is a tool to grow our most precious asset: ourselves. Sophie has worked with immigrants in the US and Hong Kong and in 2005 she set up a+b=3, a social enterprise to improve NGOs’ capacity in financial education through training their trainers and designing programmes - including behaviour about money. Sophie also co-founded Enrich in 2007, an NGO to empower Hong Kong migrant workers to be more in control of their finance and encourage each other and their families. Sophie holds a DECF (Qualified Accountant), a Master degree in business studies (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris), a post-graduate in finance and banking (Paris-Dauphine) and a diploma in Islamic Finance (ETHICA). She has worked in financial management and accounting in US and British corporations and international non-profit organisations for more than 15 years. She has facilitated training workshops in Hong Kong, Cambodia (15 trips in 7 years!), the Philippines, USA, Shanghai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and online programmes. She loves adding colour to financial training to engage all participants even those who hate numbers! Since 2005, a+b=3’s programmes have reached more than 5,000 people. Our mission is to help people make better decisions with money to have a more harmonious and healthier life.
This workshop will be co-facilitated in Khmer by a VBNK trainer.
Our Approach: participatory, group activities, case studies, practise sessions, business game. Our training workshops put finance in context and include behaviour and social issues. They are only one step in our endeavour to contribute to poverty alleviation: participants will also have access to our training database and technical review notes, plus support to implement their own training programme.
