Little Boss 2023 | Entrepreneurship start young

Little Boss is a program that is aimed at educating children of ages 12 and below, in terms of financial literacy. This idea came about after observing that many children do not know how to properly handle their finances, which results in poor savings, poor spending and lower quality of life, even later in adulthood.
