BPI Foundation, the social innovation arm of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), recently sealed a partnership with Library Renewal Partnership, a social enterprise that builds free libraries around the Philippines, to bring financial literacy and supplemental books to the winners of “FinLit and Entrep Challenge” among the BPI Manny and Me partner-schools. The BPI Manny and Me is a financial literacy program that integrates financial management concepts into elementary-level subjects. It launched its first-ever Nationwide FinLit and Entrep Challenge to equip Grade 3 and 4 pupils to become financially literate.
