UBA Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of United Bank for Africa (UBA) Group, has partnered with Slum2School Africa to provide financial literacy education for underserved children, equipping them with essential money management skills from an early age.
The initiative featured a hands-on financial literacy workshop centred on the UBA Money Explorers Book, an interactive learning resource designed to teach children the basics of personal finance through stories, games, practical money ledgers and other engaging activities.
As part of the programme, pupils were also introduced to the UBA Red Vault, a savings product aimed at encouraging healthy saving habits among children.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of UBA Foundation, Bola Atta, emphasised the importance of exposing children to financial education early in life, noting that equipping young people with sound money management skills is critical to building financially responsible adults.
She said the partnership reflects the Foundation’s commitment to empowering the next generation with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed financial decisions and achieve long-term economic success.
