As
part of the activities to mark the 35th Anniversary of the Christian
Community Microfinance Limited (CCML), the company has taken school kids from
selected client schools through Financial Literacy.
The
programme which was under the theme “Financial Literacy for kids,” aimed to
promote a culture of Biblical Financial Discipline among the school kids.
Mrs.
Sylvia Adobea Adadey, a member of the anniversary committee explained that this
programme was to help school children understand the need for savings and the
importance of banking.
She
further explained that if school children were financially literate at an early
age it will go a long way to inform the decisions they take in the future and
help them make career choices.
The
two schools which participated in the Financial Literacy Day were Kisseman
Evangelical Presby School and His Divine Grace Academy. School children were
taken through four different sessions.
Experts
in financial services took the school children through sessions on “Instilling
a culture of Biblical Financial Discipline; orientation on various departments
in a bank and why these departments exist; about CCML and it uncommon products
and services; how banking started and why banks still exist.
Mr.
Charles Deegbe, Marketing Manager in charge of Savings stated that he was
impressed by the response of the kids and the zeal they exhibited.
School
children later wrote an ICT based quiz. The winner Paulina Amedornu of Kisseman
Evangelical will later be presented with a CCML Liquid Super Saver Account at
her school.
CCML
the premier Microfinance Company in Ghana is 35 years old and is wholly owned
by the Christian Community of Ghana (CCG) with 24 branches nationwide. CCML
offers uncommon financial products like Savings, Loans
and Investments.
