Challenge
Data show that 19% of the European Union population consists of children, with 22.2% of them being at risk of poverty, while girls are in the most vulnerable position. Specifically, for children who live in a household struggling to meet basic needs, it is more challenging to have access to quality education, nutrition, clothing, various facilities for everyday usage, as well as free time activities. Since poverty has severe repercussions on children’s living conditions, it is important to support them and their families to overcome the difficulties they face and help them thrive.
Innovation
The Wealthy Minds project aims to lift young girls and women from poverty-related exclusion by educating them on how to be financially competent and better manage their personal finances.
