Induni teaches social and financial education as an extracurricular activity for children of all ages in her school in Sri Lanka. She created a popular financial club using the Aflatoun curriculum and materials. Children have developed projects and activities that build entrepreneurial mindsets and generate resources for them and their families. One girl developed from scratch a small business selling fruits and Indinu was touched by the impact this has had for her and her community.

“Many children are… waiting till somebody else provides a job opportunity with a handsome salary, but they haven’t focused on how to earn by themselves and be entrepreneur to society. So this is a new… concept for our school children.”
