Financial literacy

Ashbal Riyali

National programme architecture and participation design

Riyali Charitable Foundation set out to raise financial literacy among school students across the Kingdom — a participation problem before it was a content problem. Yomn designed the programme framework and the participation and engagement model, built the registration platform behind it, and oversaw delivery across the regions: 14,000 schools registered and more than 50,000 students taking part.
