As
part of its effort to promote financial literacy and economic
empowerment among young Tanzanians, Access Bank hosted a transformative
financial education session at Dar es Salaam Secondary School today. The
initiative, targeted at children, aged 13 to 18, impacted over 500
students, equipping them with essential financial knowledge to make
informed economic decisions.
The initiative builds on the Global
Money Week 2025, a worldwide campaign aimed at empowering young people
with essential financial knowledge, skills, and behaviours to make
informed financial decisions and secure a financially stable future.
Access
Bank’s participation aligns with President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s vision
for youth empowerment, as highlighted in her 2025 Education and
Training Policy address, wherein she emphasized the need to nurture
confident and well-equipped individuals capable of leveraging Tanzania’s
resources for economic growth.
Speaking on the essence of the
event, Hassan Abdullahi, the Deputy Managing Director at Access Bank,
Tanzania, equipped with extensive expertise in financial literacy and
market dynamics, expressed the Bank’s commitment to youth development
and financial inclusion.

developing essential financial skills such as budgeting, saving, and
responsible spending, you are paving the way for financial independence
and long-term prosperity. Our goal is to help you young and vibrant
students build a secure financial future, unlocking opportunities that
will not only benefit you as individuals but also contribute to the
growth and development of Tanzania.”
The financial literacy
session offered an engaging platform featuring expert guest speakers and
interactive activities on key financial concepts such as budgeting,
saving, and responsible spending. Through discussions and hands-on
exercises, students gained valuable, practical insights to enhance their
financial management skills and make informed financial decisions.
The
Headmaster of Dar es Salaam Secondary School, Hoseni Njau, expressed
great enthusiasm and urged the students to apply the financial knowledge
they had gained to build a strong foundation for their future. He
