Financial literacy is not just about numbers–it’s about empowerment. For underprivileged girls, understanding the basics of money management can mean the difference between vulnerability and security in a world where financial scams and exploitation are all too common. This is why C2C has prioritized Financial Literacy workshops, providing girls with the skills and knowledge they need to build a better future for themselves and their families.
The financial literacy workshop not only simplified complex topics like banking, investments, and money management but also inspired me to pursue a career in commerce. I am grateful for the invaluable lessons that will guide my present and future endeavors!” said Vaishnvi from Class X who attended the workshops. This testimonial underscores how these sessions go beyond teaching financial concepts; they open doors to new aspirations and career paths.
The rise in unsafe lending practices, online scams, and financial traps disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. By equipping our students with practical financial knowledge, C2C gives girls a crucial layer of protection in a digital world, empowering them to identify and avoid scams, manage money effectively, make informed financial decisions, and plan for their future.
Led by experts Ms. Shivani and Mr. Kuber, who collectively bring over a decade of experience in money management and the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector, the C2C Financial Literacy workshops were designed to be both comprehensive and engaging.
The workshops spanned a productive eight weeks in 2023, reaching approximately 950 girls across four centers. Each center covered four grades, ensuring students of a wide age range benefited from the program. With seven hours dedicated to each grade and a total of approximately 30 hours of workshop time per center, the sessions provided an in-depth financial education tailored to the needs of the students.
The results speak volumes about the impact of these workshops. Over the course of the program, the girls demonstrated remarkable improvement in their understanding of key financial concepts:

The C2C Financial Literacy workshops provide girls with the confidence to take charge of their financial futures, breaking cycles of dependency and vulnerability. By empowering young women with financial knowledge, we aim to ensure that every C2C student has the tools she needs to navigate the financial landscape with confidence and resilience.
Together, we’re building a future where knowledge is power—and where every girl has the opportunity to thrive.
