Who are we and what do we do?
The EFC plus Civic Association was founded for the purpose of raising the level of financial literacy in our society to Slovakia and the world. Financial education in the world is often conditioned by a high price for study. However, it is the people who get this price they cannot afford pay are those for whom financial education can significantly help to break the cycle poverty, lack and wrong financial decisions in life.
How do we help?
😇 We educate children in orphanages about the world of money
- We are witnessing the difficult life stories of children and adults from orphanages who are threatened with financial problems or scams from their immediate family, threats from usurers or human traffickers.
- Financial education for life has multiple meanings for them and a huge impact on their adult lives.
- The financial education program for these children is adapted by a team of special educators so that they acquire all the necessary competencies to start a dignified and independent life.
💚 Cooperation with the St. Lujza Children's Charity Home in Nitra
Our expert teacher Petra meets regularly with the children at the home, where she guides them on topics such as income, budgeting, work and employment, credit and debt, saving, investing and insurance.
The focus is on preventing monetary fraud and deception, knowledge of their human and civil rights, publicity stunts and financial shark baits in order to recognize them, and Averting unpleasant consequences.
The children and teenagers have developed a close and friendly relationship with tutor Petra since September 2022. They try not to miss a single meeting as they discover the world of finance in the form of interactive games, videos, puzzles and guided communication, where everyone is equal and every opinion is respected.
The children's natural interest in financial education with EFC Plus is evidenced by the fact that they sacrifice their weekends to learn about money every Saturday.
