Targeted Groups-Students 
Our financial literacy program is dedicated to empowering students in the rural areas of Western Nepal with essential financial knowledge and skills. Understanding that many young people in these regions have limited access to financial education, we aim to bridge this gap by providing practical training that covers key aspects of personal finance, budgeting, and responsible money management. By equipping students with these crucial skills, we aspire to help them make informed financial decisions that will positively impact their futures and contribute to the economic development of their communities.

Program Summary 
Financial literacy enables individuals to plan for the future and build a secure financial foundation. Whether saving for education, homeownership, retirement, or emergencies, financial literacy equips individuals with the tools and strategies needed to set and achieve their long-term financial goals. By fostering a saving and financial planning culture, financial literacy contributes to greater financial stability and resilience. Nepal has a significant portion of its population who are unbanked or underbanked, lacking access to basic financial services. Financial literacy initiatives can promote financial inclusion by raising awareness about the benefits of banking, encouraging savings behavior, and facilitating access to financial products tailored to the needs of underserved populations. This can help empower marginalized communities and promote inclusive economic growth. Moreover, financial literacy is not just a personal skill; it is a catalyst for individual empowerment, economic development, and social progress in Nepal. By investing in financial education initiatives and promoting widespread financial literacy, Nepal can unlock the potential of its people and build a more prosperous and equitable society.
