Can I borrow some?

What to think about when someone asks to borrow

Level 2: Saving smart · from age 6 · 3 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Otieno’s friend Baraka asks to borrow KES 100 for snacks on the school trip. He says he’ll pay it back next week.

The big idea

If you lend, agree the amount and the day it comes back. Saying it out loud helps everyone remember.

Ask at home

Ask your child whether a friend has ever asked to borrow money, and what they did.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
