"Life capital" for blind youth

Dear friends!

We are on the path to realizing our dream.

The topic of finances and their proper management is of great interest to modern youth. Financial literacy is not yet a mandatory subject in school, however, 65.2% of schoolchildren speak about the need to teach financial literacy. On the one hand, we see that there is a pronounced interest on the part of young people in knowledge in the field of personal finance management, and on the other hand, blind youth cannot always find this knowledge in an accessible everyday form.

Thanks to your support, in March 2025, our youth team was able to implement the second stage of our project “Life Capital” for blind youth. During the second stage of the project, 25 participants from different cities of Ukraine continued to work on adapting the game “Life Capital” for youth with severe visual impairments.

The youth team of our project did a lot of creative work on adapting the playing field and creating computer programs that will allow blind players to be independent.

The project leaders worked on instructions for computer programs for players, created the “Life Capital” website.

Now it’s time for the third stage - the implementation of the project’s ideas.

During the 3rd stage, our version of the “Life Capital” game will be tested and training will be held to train leaders to create clubs where young people with severe visual impairments will be able to practice financial literacy skills in a safe format that will be useful to them in real life.

Young people with visual impairments will learn new financial literacy tools. For example, participants will determine their own financial goals, draw up a savings plan, analyze where to place funds, organize a personal budget, and consider investment opportunities.

This is especially important for our country at this stage, when creative young people will be needed for its reconstruction after the war.

We believe in your support!
