A bright financial future for 4,000 Kenyan pupils

We are happy to report that because of your support; My Money remains on course to deliver on its promise of providing a brighter financial future to over 4,000 Kenyan pupils by the end of the year 2019. As at 4^th June, 2019, a total of 147 teachers have been equipped with the skills and techniques necessary for the effective delivery of the revised My Money curriculum to pupils. As a result, the teachers have been able to transfer the knowledge acquired to well over 4,000 pupils spread out from grade 3 through 8 in all four target schools.

Teachers in all four target schools have received training  on Child Safeguarding. Teachers have affirmed that the trainings have enhanced their knowledge, skills and ability to keep children safe and help curb child abuse. Mrs. Florence , Financial Capability Committee Chairperson at Manyatta Primary School notes there has been an increased awareness of the need to provide a friendly and safe environment for children. We are now in the process of reviewing the full implementation of the Child Safeguarding Policy which we expect to be complete towards the end of 2019.

 My Money is a child-targeted intervention. That’s why we are always working to protect children from abuse, and to instill in them confidence, self-esteem, communication skills and resilience. In the spirit of safeguarding and securing children’s safety and development, all the target four target schools signed a Child of Commitment to Safeguarding Letter. This letter has been put up in the schools notice board and at the office reception to ensure all teachers and other representatives become aware of their individual obligation to protect children.This has made pupils feel safe, loved, respected and are now sure that their dignity  as humans is well preserved.

At $ 5,308 thus far, we may seem far behind our target of $99,999 in donations towards the project, but your generous contributions inspire us to keep hoping and working. It is our belief here at CEDI that with your continued support, we shall achieve our goal of offering even more Kenyan Pupils a Brighter Financial Future, and to inspire a young generation of Kenyans to carry forward the beacon of hope in the fight against poverty.
