Access Bank, Tanzania Empowers Students with Financial Literacy During Global Money Week

 As part of its effort to promote financial literacy and economic empowerment among young Tanzanians, Access Bank hosted a transformative financial education session at Dar es Salaam Secondary School today. The initiative, targeted at children, aged 13 to 18, impacted over 500 students, equipping them with essential financial knowledge to make informed economic decisions.

The initiative builds on the Global Money Week 2025, a worldwide campaign aimed at empowering young people with essential financial knowledge, skills, and behaviours to make informed financial decisions and secure a financially stable future.

Access Bank’s participation aligns with President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s vision for youth empowerment, as highlighted in her 2025 Education and Training Policy address, wherein she emphasized the need to nurture confident and well-equipped individuals capable of leveraging Tanzania’s resources for economic growth.

Speaking on the essence of the event, Hassan Abdullahi, the Deputy Managing Director at Access Bank, Tanzania, equipped with extensive expertise in financial literacy and market dynamics, expressed the Bank’s commitment to youth development and financial inclusion.

"Tanzania is rich in potential, and by developing essential financial skills such as budgeting, saving, and responsible spending, you are paving the way for financial independence and long-term prosperity. Our goal is to help you young and vibrant students build a secure financial future, unlocking opportunities that will not only benefit you as individuals but also contribute to the growth and development of Tanzania."

The financial literacy session offered an engaging platform featuring expert guest speakers and interactive activities on key financial concepts such as budgeting, saving, and responsible spending. Through discussions and hands-on exercises, students gained valuable, practical insights to enhance their financial management skills and make informed financial decisions.

The Headmaster of Dar es Salaam Secondary School, Hoseni Njau, expressed great enthusiasm and urged the students to apply the financial knowledge they had gained to build a strong foundation for their future. He emphasized that the decisions they make today will play a crucial role in determining their financial stability and success in the years to come.

Access Bank also donated notebooks and essential supplies to the school, ensuring a more supportive and conducive learning environment for the students. The event also reinforced the Bank’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, further solidifying its role in promoting financial literacy and sustainable development.
