Build an emergency fund with a weekly savings challenge
The 52-Week Emergency Fund Challenge is a savings challenge that helps families and professionals build an emergency fund through a simple weekly savings habit, with support from a WhatsApp community.
An emergency fund protects you from taking loans or using credit cards when unexpected expenses arrive, such as a medical bill, job loss or urgent repair. The challenge explains how much emergency savings you might need and where to keep it.
