Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

A financial literacy project that draws inspiration from the timeless wisdom of "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason.

Through this project, we aim to equip inner city students with the essential principles of financial strength and independence.

Through your generous donations, we seek to procure copies of this influential book to distribute among Business Technology students ensuring that teenagers have access to invaluable lessons on wealth management and personal finance.

"The Richest Man in Babylon" offers timeless insights into the importance of saving, investing, and making sound financial decisions, making it an ideal resource for empowering the next generation with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive economically.

With your support, we can provide students with the tools they need to build a secure financial future and break the cycle of financial illiteracy.
