Cha-Ching, a financial literacy program, aims to reach 1M, young students

26 September 2023, Manila, Philippines — Prudence Foundation, the community investment arm in Asia and Africa of Prudential plc, Pru Life UK’s parent company, in partnership with JA Philippines, are thrilled to announce the official relaunch of its financial literacy education program that aims to reshape the future of young kids. With an unwavering commitment to empower the youth, we proudly present "One Student to a Million: Cha-Ching Shaping a Financially Literate Generation."

Celebrating Cha-Ching  Milestones

In 2016, Prudence Foundation with JA Asia Pacific and JA Philippines, introduced the Cha-Ching curriculum. Cha-Ching was co-funded by Prudence Foundation and Pru Life UK in the Philippines, a leading life insurance company that provides financial and health solutions. As these organisations continue to expand, it remains committed to extending its outreach by introducing additional initiatives within the Cha-Ching curriculum aimed at educating students on financial principles and financial matters.

As a testament to its success and commitment to involvement, the Cha-Ching program has now been integrated in the school curriculum of Grade 4 students. At such a young age, students are now exposed to matters involving money and finances and different investment modules. As the majority of key decisions in our daily lives involve money, Cha-Ching gives students the freedom and confidence to know and learn more about organising their finances, no matter how big or small.

Today, Cha-Ching is hailed as the most renowned financial literacy program for youth in the Philippines as it also received the Silver Asia-Pacific Stevie® Award in the Innovation in Community Relations or Public Service Communications Category in 2021 and the Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards in 2022.

This year, the renewed Cha-Ching program sets an ambitious goal: to reach 1,000,000 students and 28,000 teachers nationwide. This goal reinforces Prudence Foundation, Pru Life UK, JA Asia Pacific and JA Philippines’s commitment to becoming trailblazers in financial literacy education for the youth.

“Together with Prudence Foundation, I am very excited that the Philippines will be the first country where the Cha-Ching Curriculum will have reached 1 million students by school year 2023-2024. Truly, an amazing achievement reflecting our purpose as partners for every life, and protectors for every future,” shared Eng Teng Wong, President and CEO of Pru Life UK.

Getting to Know Cha-Ching Curriculum

Last year, Prudence Foundation successfully launched their one of a kind financial literacy online game, Cha-Ching Money Adventures (CCMA), globally. CCMA is an interactive online game and a dynamic learning platform designed to equip students and teachers alike with vital money management skills while making learning an enjoyable experience.

Aside from the interactive gaming design and interface, CCMA also reaches out to the typical student by playing through 4 different distinctive modules: “Hometown” for Earn, “Mallsville” for Save, “Las Races” for Spend and “Rockability Rivers” for Donate. These modules engage students in the fundamental Cha-Ching concepts: Earn, Save, Spend, Donate, all while earning points, learning, and having fun.

Making a Difference through Cha-Ching

Through curriculum integration and CCMA, Cha-Ching continues to revolutionise financial education, making it enjoyable, comprehensive, and accessible. It fosters a positive attitude toward money, empowering students to make sound financial decisions for a brighter future.

"Teaching kids financial literacy at an early age is not just important; it's absolutely vital. It’s like giving them a compass for life, giving them proper reference as they navigate real life. By instilling these skills early, we anchor them with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex financial world confidently," said Jed Velarde, Stock Market Investment Advocate and the Head of Partnerships at COL Financial Group, Inc., during the launch event.

Cha-Ching continues to change the narrative that only adults can handle money and shifts it to the belief that students can also make financially sound decisions for today and the years to come.

Cricket World Cup

The One Day International (ODI) Cricket World Cup, once known as the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, is the sport's premier international tournament. Every four years, the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body of the sport, hosts the match, which consists of early qualification periods and a finals tournament. The competition is one of the most watched sporting events in the world and is referred to by the ICC as the "flagship event of the international cricket id calendar.

The first ODI cricket match had been played only four years before the first World Cup was held in England in June 1975. The qualification phase of the present organization selects which teams continue to the tournament phase, and it runs over the previous three years. Ten teams, including the host nation, which automatically is eligible compete for the championship over the course of around a month at locations in the host country. The format will be altered for the 2027 edition to enable an increased 14-team final competition.

(1975–1983) Prudential World Cups

England, the only country at the time with the resources to host an event of this number, hosted the first Cricket World Cup in 1975. On June 7, 1975, the race got underway.[20] The first three matches, named the State Cup after the sponsors National plc, were staged in England. The games were played in the usual daytime format with each team getting 60 six-ball overs. Players wore white cricket shirts and used red cricket balls.

The first tournament featured eight teams: Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and the West Indies (then the six Test nations), as well as Sri Lanka and an all- East African team. South Africa, which was excluded from playing international cricket due to racism in was one visible exclusion. The West Indies won the competition by beat Australia by a score of 17 runs in the championship match at Lord's.

Different champions (1987–1996)

The 1987 event was staged outside of England for the first time and was jointly hosted by India and Pakistan. Due to the shorter daylight hours in the Indian subcontinent than in England's summer, the games were shortened from 60 to 50 overs each innings, the current standard.[28] Up until the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand, Australia's 7-run victory against England in the championship match was the tightest margin of victory in the World Cup final.

Technological Advancements

In order to improve decision-making's impartiality and precision, cricket has also adopted technology. Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS) technology have given the game a new dimension while decreasing controversy and improving the accuracy of umpire judgments.

The Future of Cricket

Cricket is changing and is now faced with new opportunities and problems. One example of how cricket id is still evolving and expanding is the growth of women's cricket, the drive for sustainability in the game, and innovations like day-night test matches.
