CHA-CHING

A financial literacy program that aims to teach Grade 4 students financial literacy through basic money concepts integrated in their curriculum, as part of the 360 degree approach to effectively form healthy financial habits that they can bring to adulthood.

With CCFA passers and Deped coordinators and teachers as our Cha-Ching advocates, students will be one step closer to a financially literate generation in the future.
