Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), in collaboration with Injaz Qatar, presented the ‘How Money Works?’ programme to young Qataris at Hamad Medical Cooperation’s (HMC) Spring Camp, organised during the first school semester break.
The programme is a five-hour training with interactive and engaging sessions, tailored specifically to educate secondary school, university freshmen and second year students aged between 15 and 19 on managing their finances. 
It explores ways to earn money and manage it prudently by budgeting, saving, and investing. The students will receive a certificate once the programme sessions are completed.
Spring Camp hosts various programmes based on the students’ career path. It aims to improve student skills in multiple sectors, including money management, and provide guidelines for developing smart financial decisions. ‘How Money Works?’ is part of an integrated ‘Life Skills’ programme hosted at Spring Camp.
QIB employees delivered the programme to more than 100 youngsters, which were divided into two groups. ‘How Money Works?’ is expected to reach 1,250 students over the next three years, as part of an exclusive collaboration between QIB and Injaz Qatar.
Mashaal Abdulaziz al-Derham, assistant general manager, head of Corporate Communications & Quality Assurance at QIB, said: “It gives us great pleasure to participate in the HMC initiative, as we share a common goal of giving opportunities to the Qatari youth to help them start making smart financial decisions. Financial literacy is an important aspect in building a strong foundation for the country’s youth, while influencing them to shape their financial future.”
