The Orange Initiative

The Power of Saving

Learning to save is more than just a smart money habit, it’s a life skill. Saving teaches discipline, responsibility, and the ability to delay gratification, which are essential qualities for future financial independence. By instilling these habits early, we empower young minds to make thoughtful financial decisions throughout their lives.

Hands-On Approach to Financial Literacy

To make learning fun and practical, we are introducing the STC Orange Piggy Bank program for primary school learners. Each child will receive their very own orange piggy bank, encouraging them to save small amounts regularly. Through this initiative, children will develop a tangible connection to their savings and begin to understand the value of money in a real-world context.

Measuring Growth and Celebrating Progress

At the end of the year, learners will have the opportunity to reflect on their savings journey. They will calculate how much they have managed to save and discuss their experiences. This hands-on approach fosters a sense of achievement, reinforcing positive financial habits that will benefit them for years to come.
