Throughout Global Money Week 2022, AIESEC in Rwanda along with partners reached 40 children and youth through several activities such as visiting the Rwanda stock exchange market, I&M Bank PlC, and physical visits to schools.

During GMW2022, financial literacy awareness sessions were offered to children, youth and adults, mostly through a hybrid format. This included sessions about the importance of early saving, stock market operation, high-level virtual discussions about various themes and other educational sessions.

Furthermore, this year, university students had the opportunity to participate in workshops on banks at the Rwanda Stock Exchange.

In 2022, AIESEC in Rwanda focused on reaching both children and youth through in-person visits that took place in different primary schools in Kigali and Huye. Students were educated about money matters and how they can prepare for the future through savings starting at an early age.

Moreover, I&M Bank Rwanda Plc and Rwanda Stock Exchange (RSE) sponsored Global Money Week 2022. The Economic Policy Research Network (EPRN) supported the overall coverage of GMW2022. Students were hosted by I&M Bank Plc Rwanda and the stock exchange warmly welcomed the students at their institutions where educational sessions were prepared about both institutions and how students can benefit from their services.

In addition, AIESEC in Rwanda had a virtual closing ceremony event that gathered 487 youth from different universities. During the event, partners delivered keynote speeches and participated in the panel discussion. Panellists shared their experiences and how they have come where they are today, their perspective when it comes to money matters and saving at an early age. The youth had interactive discussions and all their questions were answered.

Throughout Global Money Week 2022, Finance Plus Plc along with partners reached 600 children and youth through several activities such as workshops and over 150 parents.

During the campaign, financial literacy awareness sessions were offered to children, youth and adults mostly through media, TV shows and radio shows. We estimate that those sessions through media reached at least 10,000 people.
