The Importance of Financial Literacy
As the African proverbs say, “Give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” By teaching financial literacy to today’s youth, we are empowering future generations to put financial freedom in their own hands. By taking control of your finances, you’ll be a step closer to your goals and aspirations in business.
Educating Future Entrepreneurs
Financial literacy is such an important subject as it has the potential to affect the rest of our lives.Teaching this topic to our youth will prepare them to be an active member of our increasingly complex financial environment.
We understand that our future lies with the younger generation, and that’s why we partner with various organizations such as the Financial Education Public Private Partnership (FEPPP) to promote financial literacy and opportunities to students within our public schools, colleges, and universities, and especially to BIPOC communities.
