Edu-fun-funds Dreamstarter financial literacy drama Edutainment programme is a vocational school based financial inclusion strategy to achieve our dream of setting up the foundation for a national financial education program for Nigeria

As change agents, our vision is to help the families’ live happier and more enlightened life by helping the children to become financially literate and intelligent, so they know how to earn money, grow it, preserve it and become wise stewards so they can make a difference and leave a significant and lasting legacy. We equally help every child to set simple life goals, understand life enriching values, mature emotionally, discover their passion and develop this passion into value adding talent they can offer for the benefit of humanity.

Our Methodology

We have been using entertainment, stage performance and print drama to teach children and youth’s critical life and money skills in government schools across Lagos. Through this activity, we are able to gain access to a government school, entrenched our presence through establishment of Dreamstarter financial literacy edutainment Club, gain uncluttered access to the pupils and creatively penetrate their families

We will also work with both the parent and children to develop personalized saving plan that guarantee each child a minimum of N 4 million as a Dreamstarter grant from their parent on or before the age of 25 years.

The savings program tagged ‘Dreamstarter Money Play System’ is also designed to help parent pay school fees easily and create a future where not a single person is unemployed. By giving family the power to help themselves, we offer them something far more valuable than a plate of food-security in its most fundamental form!

At the end of the project our participants will be able to make prudent investments, plan for their longer-term financial needs and exercise their rights as consumers of financial services including a focus on Savings, Investments, Tax, Insurance, Retirement and Estate planning. This, in turn, serves the twin objectives of helping them to attain financial well-being and consumer protection.

The success of the pilot scheme encourages the extension of same to more children and youths and their families across Lagos- this engenders our request for corporate sponsorship and partnership.

To be able to reach more families, we are seeking the support of country’s most visionary leaders and corporate organizations to take responsibilities in helping all children and youths develop and grow to their full potentials your  collaboration with or support of  our school based project tagged Dreamstarter Financial literacy Drama Edutainment programme will afford you the opportunity to support the most enlightened platform where children can learn to become enlightened citizens, enlightened entrepreneurs and enlightened leaders.
