Aflatoun International – Child Social and Financial Education
Our Work
We develop our Social and Financial education programmes and deliver them through a Social
Franchise Model, which enables us to reach over 10 million children in over 100 countries. Our global partner network consists of 300+ partner organisations (including NGOs, CSOs, and governments) who implement our programmes. Learn more about what we do and how we do it.
Building on a strong network of dedicated and passionate partners, supporters and staff,
we deliver high-quality education through our unique approach.
What We Do
Our programmes are based on three basic curricula for different age groups, which are flexible and can be contextualised to local needs. Additionally, we provide training to teachers and conduct research to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of our programmes.
Curricula
Aflatoun International curricula are child-centered and contain both social and financial themes. Children and young people learn about themselves, their rights and responsibilities, how
to save and how to start a small
enterprise.
Partnership & Support
The Aflatoun International network of partners is committed to deliver
quality financial and life-skills
education to millions of children and young people. Aflatoun International
provides programmatic and
fundraising support to the partners
in the network.
Monitoring & Evaluation
Aflatoun International is one of the global leaders in researching the
effectiveness of social and financial
education for children and young people. A key strength is its positive impact on their self-efficacy, which plays an
important role in successful learning.
Training Teachers
Education is only as good as the
teachers providing the classes.
Therefore, we are passionate about
training, which helps guide teachers through methodologies that enable
children to participate actively in an
atmosphere that is full of learning
and laughter.
Development & Contextualisation
Aflatoun International develops
curricula in consultation with its
partners. These materials are then adapted to the local context of the region it will be implemented in and
occasionally includes an extended focus on a specific issue it aims to tackle.
Digital Learning
Aflatoun International embraces new technologies which have the potential to strengthen educational systems and increase reach and impact. Access to mobile technology is rapidly transforming our ability to reach children, young people and trainers who have been previously excluded from skills-building
programmes.
