During the SayPro Capacity Building Training for NPOs Programme, Mr. Neftaly Malatjie, CEO of SayPro, shared a powerful message with attendees about the importance of gratitude, spiritual discipline, and financial responsibility.

“Learn to appreciate what you have,” Mr. Malatjie urged. “Stop comparing yourself with others. The real secret is simple: pray and give thanks to God.”

He encouraged participants to begin each financial decision with a moment of gratitude, highlighting the spiritual and practical benefits of acknowledging blessings before using resources.
