Child Social & Financial Education
The focus of Aflatoun's programme is on providing life skills rooted in social and financial education to children aged 6-14.
The Aflatoun concept 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.
Aflatoun believes this is possible through an education that balances personal and social awareness with practical planning, saving and entrepreneurial skills. Children are encouraged to make the best use of their resources: whether these are in the form of money, natural resources, clothes or time.
