It’s an annual financial awareness campaign built by CYFI (Child & Youth Financial International) to inspire children and young people to learn about money matters, livelihoods, and entrepreneurship held in March every year. This year it’s this week (12 – 18 March) with events happening…you guessed it, globally!
