We want young people to learn to manage their money wisely. By empowering children and youth, we can help them create a positive wave that will expand from themselves, to their families and to entire communities. GMW started in 2012 as Child Finance Day/ Week and has since touched the lives of 7.8 million children and young people through 23,700 organizations in 137 countries.
