Andrea King, the reigning Miss World Guyana, is set to launch her “Beauty with a Purpose” project on Monday, kickstarting a series of engagements with secondary school students and other stakeholders on financial literacy.
Project FLO (Financial Literacy Orientation) was established to help shape the future of Guyana through education. The initiative focuses on developing cognitive skills in financial literacy for Guyanese youth who are making the transition into adulthood. By educating students in financial literacy, Project FLO aims to disrupt generational poverty cycles by introducing the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours needed for a future of financial stability.
Beauty with a Purpose is the official charity of Miss World and it is a key component of the competition. The charity has raised over £1 billion since its creation in 1972 by Miss World Chairman Julia Morley.
King, who won the local competition on August 21, 2022, believes that “Financial Literacy is a necessary life skill that plays an integral role in disrupting generational poverty cycles and preventing economic abuse.”
With support from the Education Ministry, King and her team will kick off engagements with visits to three secondary schools in Region Six on Tuesday, February 28.
