Barriers to Financial Literacy in Underserved Communities
Despite its importance, financial literacy remains inaccessible to many underprivileged children due to:

2. Limited Educational Resources
Schools in underserved areas rarely offer financial education programs, leaving children without formal guidance.
3. Cultural Attitudes
In some communities, discussing money is considered taboo, further limiting opportunities for financial learning.
4. Generational Gaps
