Child Social and Financial Education

Child Social & Financial Education is a central campaign run by Dutch NGO – Aflatoun. March 2010 marks the two year anniversary of Aflatoun's global campaign launch to bring Child Social and Financial Education to children across the globe.

Concept of the campaign revolves around the belief that children are powerful agents of social and economic change. Empowering children to make this change and break the cycle of poverty means making them aware of what their rights and responsibilities are, and equipping them with the tools to put those rights into practice. Program aims to help children by creating the link between children and the practical world of finance – a link which has been long overlooked.

Aflatoun is currently working with partners in 83 countries having reached over 780,000 children since it first began.
