A novel titled “How to Make Money Grow on Trees” by Tendai M. Shaba is set to be released on July 28, 2025. This book aims to tackle crucial lessons in financial literacy and personal finance with a particular focus on the African context. Its narrative style features storytelling to present complex financial ideas in a straightforward manner, addressing themes like budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.
Set in postcolonial Malawi in the year 1995, Shaba’s book uses culturally relevant analogies to make finance accessible and relatable. The intention is to provide readers with tangible skills to wisely manage their finances, plan for the future, and take charge of their financial decisions, especially in places where resources may be scarce.
Shaba pointed out the pressing need for increased financial inclusion, considering that only one-third of Malawian adults have access to formal financial services. The book advocates for better access to financial tools, including mobile banking and community-centered empowerment, particularly targeting women, farmers, and small business entrepreneurs.
Emphasizing the significance of emotional and cultural influences on spending habits, the book offers readers practical strategies to alter detrimental financial behaviors. It also promotes notions of shared success, sustainable agriculture, and entrepreneurship, presenting a holistic approach to financial literacy.
At 156 pages long, the book is set to be available globally. For an introductory period, it can be purchased for MK 20,000, a substantial reduction from its standard price of MK 80,000. This pricing strategy appears aimed at maximizing accessibility to the information contained within it, reflecting Shaba’s commitment to broad financial education.
Tendai M. Shaba’s upcoming book, “How to Make Money Grow on Trees,” promises to provide practical financial advice specifically tailored for the African context. By integrating storytelling with essential financial concepts, it aims to empower readers—particularly among underrepresented groups—towards better financial decisions and inclusion. As it approaches its release, the book’s affordable price further underscores its accessibility, reinforcing the mission of fostering financial literacy across Malawi and beyond.
