HistoryIn 1991 Aflatoun started in Mumbai, India, as a project by Jeroo Billimoria, who was doing research at the Tata School of Social Studies. They began working with schools to bring rich and poor children together to learn about each others’ lives.
For gathering knowledge about our programmes and their implementation, Aflatoun uses QuestionPro and Salesforce for partner surveys and programme data.
QuestionPro provides unparalleled insights and just launched enterprise features including Communities, Customer Experience, Workforce and Mobile.
Salesforce provides Aflatoun with licenses and volunteer support.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a challenging, unpredictable year for all of us. At Aflatoun International, we had to innovate, adapt, and find new ways of supporting our partners and delivering social and financial education to children and youth worldwide. We have been inspired by the resilience and creativity of our partner network. Despite the challenges, through its global network of partner organisations, Aflatoun reached 5.6 million children and young people in 2020: 3.1 million through civil society organisations, and 2.5 million through governments.

Based upon an environmental scan and reflections on the lessons learned, including a survey among the network partners, the new strategy for the organisation (2016-2020) has been developed. The coming five years we are committed to work together towards Social & Financial Education being recognised as an integral element of quality education and a key enabler for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Aflatoun International should be recognised as the thought leader on Child Social & Financial Education. An active global network will exchange ideas, experiences and best-practices on important issues like SFE implementation, delivering at scale with equity and quality assurance.

next five years.
