Child Savings International - The Aflatoun dream

The inspiration for Aflatoun comes from Jeroo Billimoria, an Indian national who grew up and worked among the street children of Mumbai. Through this experience she came to the conclusion that a lack of basic knowledge about rights, responsibilities and finance is at the root of economic and social inequality.

Jeroo’s, and Aflatoun’s, dream is one of socially and financially empowered children. Of children whose economic self-reliance and sense of social responsibility enables them to be the drivers of a more resilient and equitable global society – a society that has broken the cycle of poverty.

And so the dream was born.

Our mission
At the heart of the Aflatoun concept are the aspirations of children and the belief that children are some of the most important agents of change. Children should not be dismissed simply because they have not yet become adults; they need to be seen as individuals already capable of making sense of the world around them.

This conviction underpins Aflatoun’s mission:
To facilitate the development of socially conscious and economically self-reliant citizens by teaching children about financial education in the context of their rights and responsibilities; and to ensure that child social and financial education is viewed as a right for every child globally.
