a tale of
‍ AHA! LEArning

‍

Income|Outcome demystifies the budget process and clarifies its value.

‍

Acumen is a global organization of entrepreneurs and social innovators focused on breaking the cycle of poverty. As part of their fellowship program for social entrepreneurs in East Africa, we provide the finance module.

‍

At the start of one Income|Outcome workshop, a participant shared her frustration:

‍

“I hate the budget process. I don’t see the purpose of it, but I hope to learn enough to do it better.”

‍

Our facilitator, Eliza, replied:
“I can’t change how you feel about budgets, but by the end of this workshop, you’ll understand their value.”

‍

Eight hours later, at the end of the workshop, the same woman stood up and said:
“Eliza was wrong. She said I would still hate budgets — but now I love them!”

‍

Insight in Action:

Income|Outcome helps demystify the budgeting process, making it easier to understand, apply, and appreciate.
