"Our approach focuses on making financial literacy not just accessible but genuinely engaging for young minds, as we've found that when complex concepts are presented through interactive, real-world scenarios, students develop competence and confidence in financial decision-making," states KFI founder Marilyn Pinto. The organization's teaching excellence has garnered significant industry recognition, including a Silver Award at the 2023 Customer Happiness Awards, the Best Financial Literacy Project award at MAIA 2022, and being named Most Innovative Financial Literacy Education Provider by Women's Tabloid in 2023.

The organization employs sophisticated storytelling techniques to make learning memorable while ensuring students gain practical knowledge applicable to real-world financial scenarios they will encounter.
Their educational impact extends across diverse communities throughout the UAE, with initiatives reaching historically underserved populations, including low-wage workers and caregivers who benefit tremendously from financial education. Strategic partnerships with major financial institutions like Dubai Islamic Bank and Emirates NBD have amplified their reach considerably, strengthening financial literacy nationwide through collaborative educational initiatives that address the unique challenges different demographics face.
Their specialized programs provide foundational financial skills that empower individuals to achieve stability and make informed decisions about budgeting, saving and planning for future financial needs regardless of their current economic situation.

"Our mentorship programs and supplementary resources reflect our commitment to creating financially savvy communities through multiple channels, as we recognize that different learners have diverse preferences and learning styles, and our approach accommodates this diversity," notes Pinto. Their student-centered approach has proven particularly effective in developing theoretical knowledge. Still, students also carry practical financial habits into adulthood. This creates a lasting impact that goes beyond the classroom environment.
