Wati describes his favorite things

Wati is an Aflatoun student from Uganda and he tells us “Saving, because this money we save helps us a lot, like some time, I had saved my money and I had no books, and we were beginning the term... that was primary six second term... as the term was beginning I came without books, but on the first day they came to collect our money... they told me if you want to withdraw you can withdraw, I withdrew some and I went and bought books, so it [accumulated savings] helped me in buying books.”

Training in Mali

From 7 - 9 September, the Secretariat conducted an Aflatoun training in Bamako, Mali, in collaboration with Aflatoun's Malian partner GAP/CAMIDE and with the support of the Philippson Foundation. Among the 25 participants were partners, ministry of education officials, inspectors, school principals and teachers from Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Rwanda. The aim of this training is to facilitate the upcoming implementation of the Aflatoun programme as the schools prepare for their new school year. This training is part of the Aflatoun goal to reach more and more children in the francophone African region.

Aflatoun

Aflatoun provides children aged 6-14 with Social & Financial Education. Today, Aflatoun is reaching over 540,000 children and helping over 200,000 children save in 33 countries. Aflatoun is also in dialogue with 52 other countries who are interested in implementing the Aflatoun Programme.

Aflatoun provides children with the building blocks of life, encouraging them to save their resources and start social and financial microenterprises. Through Social & Financial Education, children are empowered to make a positive change in their lives and in their communities and eventually break the cycle of poverty in which many find themselves.
