Aflatoun International enables children to make a positive change in their lives and in their communities through social and financial education, with the aim of ultimately leading them to breaking the cycles of poverty and inequality. Based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, our innovative programme is currently implemented in 115 countries and in 2014 reached 4 million children from 3 – 18 years old.
