What is Aflatout Program?

The objective of the Financial and Social Education Program for Early Childhood 3-6 years old (Aflatout) is to help children realize their potential; to improve the world through education. The emphasis on the importance of financial education has begun to become clear in recent years. Although we exist in a rapidly changing global economic society, young people around the world have extremely low levels of knowledge, and schools and teachers often lack the tools to meet this challenge. In addition to this lack of knowledge about financial issues, children and youth are increasingly exposed to socially, environmentally and economically counterproductive consumption patterns. The (Financial and Social Education) program addresses these issues through a socially and financially balanced approach that enables children to better overcome these challenges.
