We teach children their rights, and improve their plight by teaching them to save and invest. This is an alternative learning venue that empowers children to end the cycle of poverty.
Children need to know their rights, get social and financial education, and other economically empowering activities that are included in their curricula. The project empowers children to become productive citizens in the future through social and financial literacy.
The project teaches young people to save through the integration of social and financial education in the school curriculum. 15,000 disadvantaged children will have the opportunity to open a child-friendly savings account that earns interest.
The project will provide children the experience of savings, entrepreneurship ,and managing their own financial resources. The project believes that financially disadvantaged children can play a crucial role in breaking the cycle of poverty.
"I thought savings and opening an account is only for rich kids. I am very happy that Aflatoun gave me an opportunity to save and own a passbook for just P10 ($0.22)."
