Programme Objectives
To address the specific needs of vulnerable individuals in our society, we have invited organisations to develop investor and financial education projects which aim to:
- Help disadvantaged individuals or families develop investor and financial education skills and habits so that they can plan for their future.
- Support vulnerable groups to build financial resilience.
- Promote investor and financial education among different ethnic groups while embracing cultural diversity in money management.
- Motivate and drive desirable financial behaviours of vulnerable communities or groups with special learning needs through innovative approaches.
In the 2024/25 year, the following projects have been selected:
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Family budgeting program for high-risk families
The project is to empower high-risk families who are facing life challenges and financial difficulties to enhance their family budgeting skills.
The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
Financial literacy project for unemployed youth
The project provides training to unemployed youth aged 15 to 29, aiming to equip them with the skills to prevent digital scams and educate seniors in the community, and to improve their financial literacy and employability.
SidebySide
Financial literacy project for ex-offenders, prisoners and arrestees
The project aims to provide ex-offenders, prisoners and arrestees with essential money management skills and guide them in setting life goals through financial planning.
