Thirty young girls who joined a Financial Literacy Program for six weeks, received certificates from the BSP Bank last Friday, with some winning cash prizes to set up their first savings accounts
Daniel Henson, the General Manager of BSP stressed that its important to save - even if you have just one dollar.
Vanessa Heleta, director of the Talitha Project for girls, said the ongoing program is equipping young girls with economic skills to be financially independence.
"Financial independence is not just about being liberated but also brings them happiness and it will give them the opportunity to live a life that they dreamed of," she said.
"I really appreciate this partnerships with the BSP Bank - this is one of the components of the UNWomen funded 'My Body!My Rights! Now we have 30 new girls lining up for next month," said Vanessa.
