SmarTrade and ATFX continue to give back to the communities they serve via two CSR initiatives meant to empower the Filipino youth through education and sports development.
Launched early this year is the SmarTrade Kids Can Save Ipon Challenge that focuses on early education about money management. This is held in tandem with the SmarTrade Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Kids from different barangays are encouraged to save, given coin banks, and fed nutritious food.
The latest beneficiaries were 150 children from Sauyo in Quezon City. The event, held in partnership with Barangay Officials of Sauyo, featured a clown who entertained the kids and explained to them the importance of saving at an early age.
Joyce Mayo, President and CEO of SmarTrade, believes it is essential to teach financial literacy to the next generation. By partnering with organizations like world-renowned broker ATFX, they hope to empower individuals to learn about sound financial management so they can lead better lives.
“This is a perfect example of how we can invest in the future of the Philippines, starting with the youth. Financial literacy plays a crucial role in the empowerment of individuals. Through this program, we hope that we can create some impact in the lives of these children and teach them the importance of managing money early on,” said Mayo.
SmarTrade and ATFX are also sponsoring the uniforms of the Bohol United Football Club as a way of supporting sports development among young players from different municipalities in the province. The uniforms were recently turned over to the team with the football Moms of Bohol in attendance.
“With this project, we do not only promote physical fitness, social skills, and team building, but also discipline, and goal-setting among teenagers. By participating in sports, teenagers learn the importance of practice and dedication and become well-rounded members in their communities,” said Kat Salagan, Marketing Director of SmarTrade.
“This is in line with our mission to do our part in nation-building. We believe that inculcating discipline in our youth also helps them in other aspects of life, such as in managing their finances in the future,” added Salagan.
SmarTrade, which offers Filipinos free learning sessions and one-on-one coaching on online trading as an investment opportunity, is the education partner in the Philippines of ATFX.
The longtime partners intend to continue supporting various programs that focus on financial education and other facets of nation-building to benefit the communities they serve.
Most of these CSR initiatives are implemented in cooperation with the ATFX Community Partners introducing brokers (IBs) who connect SmarTrade and ATFX to possible program beneficiaries.
