The Joy project organised a workshop for the young girls across the island with the aim of making them financially secure. The initiative is aimed towards making sure that the young girls across the island can engage in financial literacy.
Financial education and awareness is an important part of the youngsters all around growth and development. The officials from the Joy Project also hold the belief that financial literacy is a powerful tool for young women.
The organisation facilitated a financial literacy session for several young girls recently. The images from the event were also published on social media pages of the organisation.
The initiative was also organised in support of the Girls Illuminated St. Kitts & Nevis Health and Wellness Program. The participants were given their financial literacy sessions by expert Davinia Tomlinson. She is also the author of ‘Cash Is Queen: A Girl’s Guide to Securing, Spending and Stashing Cash.’ Her expertise and work in improving the situation financial literacy for young girls makes her a very apt expert to deliver the sessions.
During the sessions, she shared practical and empowering lessons on building healthy financial habits. She spoke to the participants about making wise money decisions, and planning for the future.
The Joy project has shared a statement on the successful sessions on their social media. The organisation said,
“By equipping girls with the knowledge and confidence to manage money from an early age, we are helping them build a strong foundation for lifelong success,”
The organisation also took to their social media to extend their sincere gratitude to Davinia for sharing her expertise. The organisation also thanked Girls Illuminated for giving them the opportunity to partner once again in investing in the next generation of confident, capable young women.”
The organisation has also been working with the administration on supporting quality education for students across the island. The financial literacy initiative is also a part of the St Kitts and Nevis Administration’s mandate.
