Giving Ghanaian Students Equal Opportunity By Advocating For And Providing Access to Quality Financial Education for Free.
The Equal Opportunity Trust is committed to destroying barriers in financial education in Ghana and ultimately the continent of Africa. Financial literacy is a crucial skillset to have for success in the global economy, and the motivation for Africans to succeed financially is the reason why we do what we do at The Equal Opportunity Trust. We want to see African populations more financially literate so they aren't manipulated financially and are able to stimulate economic growth. Join us as we revolutionize financial education in Ghana, and soon Africa.
Currently, The Equal Opportunity Trust is providing financial education to 400+ students and counting across 4 schools in the Kumasi area. We are striving to hit 1,000 students by 2027. Join us as we transform education in Ghana.
Built and perfected over the course of 7 months, the curriculum is designed to get more rigorous as the course progresses. The curriculum covers novice topics from budgeting to advanced topics such as asset management and investing. Our goal is to ensure Ghanaian students obtain quality financial education.
The Equal Opportunity Trust was founded in 2024 upon discovering the financial illiteracy crisis. Being passionate about finance, Eric saw it necessary to go above and beyond to ensure Ghanaian children have the opportunity to learn about finance and economics.
My name is Eric Boateng. I am 16 years old and I founded this initiative in my home country to bridge the gap of the financial literacy crisis after discovering its severity. My humanitarian trip to Kenya and gaining first hand experience in African schools motivated me to make this work, no matter how ambitious it seemed. Learn more about me!
We have had the great opportunity to partner with Guide Educational Foundation, Florence Nketia, and school administrations to work with 4 schools in Ghana. These bedrock partnerships are the core of our initiative, and the start to an educational revolution in the continent of Africa.
