Impact Area: M is for Money – Programme Management, Strategy & Partnerships
Location: Johannesburg
Robyn Clark is the lead for Lucha Lunako’s flagship numeracy programme, M is for Money (MIFM): a practical mathematics literacy course that equips young people with the numerical confidence and skills they need to enter the workforce, grow a side hustle, or run a small business. She holds a Master’s degree in Mathematics Education from Wits (2013) and brings over a decade of experience as an educator, curriculum designer, and programme innovator in the South African education space.
In her current role, Robyn is responsible for the full scope of MIFM: running the programme, evolving its content and strategy, and driving its expansion beyond Lucha Lunako’s existing sites. A key focus of her work is building partnerships with corporates, foundations, and organisations that want to embed practical numeracy development into their own programmes or CSI initiatives – particularly those working with youth facing barriers to employment.
I firmly believe that numeracy is not just an academic skill, it is an economic one. In a country where poor mathematical literacy is directly linked to unemployment and financial exclusion, giving young people the ability to calculate, plan, and make sound financial decisions is one of the most impactful investments an organisation can make.
