Hanwha Life expands youth financial education program to Indonesia

Hanwha Life Insurance is expanding its financial education program to Indonesia, focusing on teaching financial literacy to teenagers. This initiative, developed in collaboration with the international nonprofit Save the Children, will be based in Bandung, Indonesia. Young people in the region face various financial risks, such as illegal lending, online scams, and gambling, as digital financial services become more prevalent.

The program is set to continue beyond its initial phase by training local students and teachers to deliver financial education. Ten high school students from each participating school will be selected to teach their classmates, with guidance from university mentors at the Bandung Institute of Technology. Additionally, teachers will receive training to conduct these lessons independently.

Since its launch, the program has already benefited around 600 teenagers and 100 university students and teachers. In January, Hanwha Life plans to extend the program's reach to 2,000 more teenagers in Indonesia.
