Programme Objectives
To address the specific needs of vulnerable individuals in our society, we invited organisations to develop investor and financial education projects which aim to:
- Help disadvantaged individuals or families in developing investor and financial education skills and habits so that they can plan for their future.
- Support vulnerable groups to build long-term financial resilience.
- Promote investor and financial education among different ethnic groups while embracing cultural diversity in money management practices.
- Motivate and drive desirable financial behaviours of vulnerable communities or groups with special learning needs.
