Global Money Week 2017

Learn.Save.Earn.

City, Country – [Your organization’s name here]will be hosting a series of events between 27 March – 2 April to celebrate Global Money Week 2017. Past Global Money Week events include children ringing the opening bells of stock exchanges, visits to central banks, financial education program in schools, and money walks to raise funds and awareness for local youth charities. Children also had the chance to connect with other children from across the world through web conferences.

Global Money Week 2017 in (name of your country)is part of a global celebration. Countries from every continent are participating in order to raise awareness of the importance of financial education and financial inclusion for children and youth, with the overall coordination of Global Money Week 2017 being led by Child & Youth Finance International (CYFI), a non-profit organization based in Amsterdam. This global Movement strives to provide financial education and financial inclusion to all children and youth, and has already gathered the support of some of the most prominent leaders and organizations across the world, including the Secretary-General of the UN, Ban-Ki Moon.

These international celebrations are carried out to promote the importance of financial rights, especially for children and youth. Today, less than 1% of all children in the world have access to financial education and financial inclusion,and one billion children live in poverty. Financial illiteracy results to many young people struggling with large amounts of debt, which results in negative repercussions on their development and well-being.

With financial access and financial education children and youth can learn to save and spend money responsibly.

Please insert any additional information that will create local media interest. Insert a quote from a leading figure in the country such as the governor of the central bank, a politician, or a celebrity on the importance of financial issues. Statistics on national financial education and financial inclusion may also be relevant.
