The Problem

Children gaining insight on how to develop positive habits for handling money of their own in light of the economic down turn our nation has taken...every family at all socio-economical levels have been affected by the financial down-turn and our children, the next generation need as much assistance in personal preparedness in FINANCES...

Why It's Important

Students Designing Lives Org. seeks to address the need for low-income families to establish new thoughts on money and how it 's impact can influence society and personal relationships for the better or for the worst.( i.e. Family Statistics indicate FINANCES / MONEY as one of the top three issues leaing to marital - family dissolution ).

The Plan Of Action

SDLO seeks to create MONEY management tool kits for KIDS ages Pre K to 8th Grade ; providing " play" banking tools ( check books, balance sheets,non-usable credit/debit card (s), plastic toy briefcases, and 3-in-one BANKS for spare change / allowance holding.( Banks have CHURCH / BANK and store fronts with seperate change slots for each.

How Can Others Get Involved?

Banking institutions & other family-friendly agencies can aid us in Marketing / GIFTING Funds / Distributing our "Money Matters" kits at local bank branches - throughout the year.
