Although several moths our organization have gone through problems to complete its projects and commitments considering schools have not had regular operations due to severe socio political and street confrontations among both the civil population and the government. The country is experiencing a turmoil and severe crisis in many aspects of the everyday life. However, some results from the implementation of Personal Finance programs can be shown.
At the Pedro Madariaga School located in Merida, an Andean Region State, students who had received contents of personal finance made all possible efforts to avoid street obstacles and could reach their school. They were able to show how financial tools learnt through our program helped them to improve the financial structure of the youth company projects they were presenting to the community. Approximtely 25 students benefited from our training and could finally complete they project preparation.
This fact indicates that when tools for improving education are providing to interested students they not only received knowledge to better afford they preparation for work, but also motivation to improve their self steem facing their lives challenges at avoiding the series of obstacles life presents for them to achieve their goals to obtain a better quality of live and consequently a better future.
