Cha-Ching is a Financial Literacy program that provides a platform for 7 to 12 years old children to learn (with the help of their parents) the knowledge, tools and practice they need to make informed financial decisions to reach their own personal goals and dreams. Cha-Ching is the first multi-country, multi-platform program that aims to help parents in Asia build money-smart values for children aged seven to 12 through introducing four money smarts – earn, save, spend and donate. It was launched in Hong Kong in 2011 by Prudential Corporation Asia (PCA), the regional headquarters of Pru Life UK. The Philippines became the first country to integrate Cha-Ching in the grade school curriculum following the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Education (DepEd) in April 2012 for the integration of the Cha-Ching Financial Literacy for the Youth Program in the Grade 2 curriculum. Piloting in Upper Bicutan Elementary School in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Tagaytay Central School in the Southern Tagalog Region for school year 2012-2013 through DepEd’s Adopt-A-School program, the implementation has expanded its coverage for academic year 2013-2014 to 17 additional public schools in the National Capital Region, Northern and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and is likewise concurrently being integrated in the syllabi of 15 partner private educational institutions.
