The Challenge
Kids often lack exposure to basic financial literacy concepts, making it harder to build healthy habits in saving, budgeting, and planning from an early age.
Objective
Developed and published The Story of Mariam and Her Family, an illustrated book tailored for children in the GCC. Adapted from a European version, it was translated into Arabic and contextualized for the region, promoting financial knowledge through engaging storytelling.
Impact
Introduced a locally adapted children's book on financial literacy, engaging schools, libraries, and organizations to spark early conversations and build lifelong financial habits.
