WealthyGen FEYA Program

Our young ones are born into a more global, digital, and sophisticated generation. Unlike the previous generations, digital transactions have become common for this generation. Cash is rarely being used, as cards have become top of the game. Financial institutions are coming up with more credit opportunities and even more sophisticated financial products. Without proper financial knowledge & money skills, our young adults will be faced with fast and easy ways to overspend their means, accumulate debts, and get into financial trouble.

The Financial Empowerment for Young Adults (FEYA Program) is created to empower young adults towards achieving financial wellbeing. It offers them the opportunity to learn the basics of handling their money and finances to fully meet current and ongoing financial obligations, feeling secure in their financial future, choosing and using different financial products, and shielding themselves from unexpected financial pains, which may result from wrong financial decisions. With this financial education program targeted at the young, our FEYA program helps participants to start early to plan their financial lives, so that by the time they grow into full adulthood, they have the capability to prepare a secure financial future for themselves and their families.

Target Participants

The FEYA Program targets young people ages 12 to 20, who are yet to begin and who have just begun their independent financial lives. It aims to catch them young and help them acquire knowledge, gain practical money skills, and develop the confidence to make informed financial decisions. Through the Financial Empowerment for Young Adults (FEYA), WealthyGen aims to build a financially savvy, financially included, and financially empowered generation of young adults.
