Here is an article about the work that The National Financial Eductors Council is doing in Kenya!
I am so proud to be the National Financial Literacy Ambassador and I know we will  see amazing life changing results in Kenya!

Kenya, Educator Training.  The National Financial Educators Council partnered with Nurture Smart to launch a financial literacy campaign designed to empower educators and students. The initiative was designed to align with Kenya Vision 2030, the country’s development plan whose objective is to transform Kenya into a “middle-income country providing a high-quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030.”

The NFEC provided consultation services, curriculum design, funding campaigns, media outreach, and Certified Financial Education Instructor training courses.  These financial education services were focused on helping Kenya reach its stated objective of improving its citizens’ quality of life. The campaign launch brought together personal finance experts and leaders from around Kenya, including Prof. James Ole Kiyiapi, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education.  Financial education is a new topic to the country, and raising awareness among educators and individuals was an important piece.  The first event met key goals including awareness, building relationships with influencers, media coverage, and bringing together those organizations that represented best practices.

The next phase of the Kenyan campaign is to train and certify educators.  The NFEC is planning to work with key influencers to adapt training programs and curriculum to align with Kenyan and African values.  An educator training event and media campaign are being prepared to serve more than 300 teachers located in Kenya and surrounding African countries.  Sponsorship forms, marketing material, and outreach efforts are in place to fund the financial education campaign.
