The Authority of Social Contribution — Ma’an has launched the second cohort of its “Ghaya” financial literacy program for citizens and residents in Abu Dhabi. The program aims to enhance the knowledge of financial management and create a culture of volunteering across the emirate.
Set to begin on June 7, the three-month virtual course, which will be taught in Arabic, will focus on a range of key topics and educate the participants on making vital financial decisions, the importance of managing and saving their money and how to invest wisely. Registration for the program is now open and will close on May 16.
Salama Al-Ameemi, director general of Ma’an, said: “No matter what your age is, gaining a strong understanding of financial literacy is important for everyone. It is not just about knowing how to save, budget or invest wisely but learning how to successfully implement them into our everyday lives.”
“By taking the participants on a learning journey, they will be able to be more confident in making informed financial decisions and be more responsible in managing their money and planning and investing for the future, which will help reduce stress and improve their well-being.”
By empowering the participants with important financial knowledge that will help in their everyday lives, the Ghaya program will help address an important social priority that has been identified by the Abu Dhabi Department of Community Development through its Quality of Life survey.
