There are now over 170,000 children in 11 countries involved in the Aflatoun Child Social and Financial Education Programme. The Aflatoun programme has been devel oped on the ground in Indian primary and secondary schools over the last 17 years. The programme provides a balanced approach to Social and Financial Education for children aged 6 – 14. The Aflatoun curriculum facilitates children’s personal exploration, teaches them about their rights and responsibilities and hel ps them acquire practical skills rel ated to saving, spending, budgeting and financial planning. In this way, Aflatoun supports children in becoming socially and financially empowered citizens and better equips them to break their personal poverty cycle.
