At the end of the circuit, ideas were discussed to create good money saving habits. The Ficohsa Financial Group continued their work promoting financial education, with children from the Francisco Morazán public schools, who are in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The aim was to develop good savings and financial habits from an early age. 28 volunteers from FICOHSA led this activity to bring the joy of learning to all the children. The “Financial Competency Circuit” initiative was part of the activities included in the Sustainable Financial Education Programme created by the FICOHSA Financial Group. The Circuit is focused on educating the Honduran population, in order for them to achieve financial health and a better quality of life, much like Aflatot and Aflatoun. Personal finance seminars for the young adult population are also organised, focusing on the younger population, as they will define the future of our country.

The Ficohsa Financial Group led GMW activities in Honduras this year. The group contributes to the economic and social development of the communities in which it operates, through initiatives that promote education, health, entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, culture and environmental protection.
The main focus of the Ficohsa Financial Group activities is on social investment in early childhood education through the Ficohsa Foundation for early childhood education. The foundation is dedicated to preschool children between 3 - 6 years of age who come from economically disadvantaged, urban, marginal and rural areas of the country through the construction, reconstruction, sustainable and comprehensive adoption of preschools.
The piggy bank workshop that took place during the Week was targeted at the preschool students; encouraged by the foundation for financial literacy, this workshop aimed to promote that investments in early childhood education provide advantages that expand and strengthen over time. The workshop included conversations related to the importance of savings and the benefits of a healthy financial life. After the presentation given by the group, each child received an education kit with which they can prepare and decorate a box to simulate savings. The piggy banks were decorated and personalized by each child, so that by the end of the activity the children could begin to acquire their own healthy savings habits.
After the activity, a reflection was done with the children on the importance of the workshop and the benefit they gain as individuals once a savings habit is formed. The promotion of healthy savings habits was accompanied by the strengthening of the teachers’ center of each of the schools and their involvement in financial education in the classroom.
