Millennium Fellowship Project: Green Finance Literacy
A financial literacy class for students through activity-based learning that helps them understand the basics of finance, such as savings, investment, and budgeting, in an economical and eco-conscious way.
The target audience is school students aged 15–16.
My project accomplished the idea of education for all by bridging the gap in financial literacy among students from more underserved communities. The main goal of the project was to introduce a strong foundation of financial literacy within these communities and nudge students to learn more about financial skills needed in their day-to-day lives.
