The Rotary Club Kyiv International is launching a financial literacy project in Ukraine to teach financial skills to youth and vulnerable populations. The project aims to train over 10,000 children in 20 cities over 10 years on basic financial tools through games and internships. It also seeks to develop a community of young savers and investors. So far it has trained over 5,000 people through schools, universities, and certified trainers, with a goal of certifying 1,000 new trainers annually. The project organizers are the Rotary Club Kyiv International, Rotaract Club, and Interact Club, totaling over 100 members dedicated to improving financial literacy in Ukraine.

4. The situation with coronavirus and quarantine has exposed the problem in
society with the unpreparedness of a huge number of people for financial
collapses in the family budget, when it is no longer possible to live "from salary
to salary." We live in post-soviet union country, the economy is still forming
and many people are still unprepared to new economic realities. They are not
preparing their children to the challenges of reality
Unwillingness to such challenges has clearly demonstrated to society the need
to take care of the "financial pillow" in advance. Now there is no need to
explain the importance of financial risk diversification to anyone
According to research of USAID conducted in 2019 - the level of financial
literacy of Ukrainians is the lowest in Europe
