About Kids Finance Initiative:

Kids Finance Initiative is a Dubai based organization founded by Marilyn L. Pinto that has brought a number of innovative and ground-breaking programs to the UAE and beyond.

We equip kids with critical life skills that aren't taught in school.

By conducting in-depth programs and not just workshops, we built a deeper understanding of the various topics we teach. By engaging with parents, we ensured that the kids' cycle of learning is deeper. By building relationships with the kids, we instill in them a curiosity for learning that will outlast our interaction with them.

We believe that kids are capable of learning, understanding, and doing so much more than we give them credit for.

Our two flagship programs are ‘Money Management for Kids & Teens' & “Entrepreneurship with A Twist'.

Money Management for Kids & Teens​: Our kids are going to make financial decisions throughout their lives, and as parents, it's up to us to ensure that they're prepared to face them intelligently. This program gives them just that—the understanding and the confidence to make conscious money decisions. This skill isn't just something nice to have; it is a social imperative.

Entrepreneurship with A Twist: Teaching entrepreneurship to kids is fantastic and but we need to do it right and not gloss over the hard bits. We need to show them how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset - to problem solve, to make mistakes, to be curious, to be fearless, to want to give back and be part of something bigger. Only then can they grasp its true meaning.

At KFI, we are passionate about helping kids realize their potential, igniting their curiosity, and stretching the horizons of their minds. We help them overcome their limiting beliefs and encourage them to achieve more than they think they are capable of.

That's what we mean by #EducationReimagined.

The concepts and ideas aren't ours, we've borrowed them from Robert Kiyosaki, Tony Robbins, Beth Kobliner, Daniel Goleman, Dr Carol Dweck, William Deresiewicz, Dan Ariely, T Harv Eker, Angela Duckworth, and other prominent authors and scientists.

What is ours is the premise that we can teach this to kids in a way that they can understand and use it. Our programs are fun, full of profound knowledge, and packed with skills they need for a future built on their own terms.

Kids Finance Initiative not only has skin in the game, but also, more importantly, we have our heart there too.
