Global Money Week (GMW) is a global initiative organized by the OECD International Network on Financial Education (OECD/INFE) aimed at promoting financial literacy among young people. The 2019 edition in Chile was particularly notable, with active participation from Kespo Capital and various local foundations.
During GMW 2019, Kespo Capital, in collaboration with several local foundations, organized educational activities that reached over 280 children and young people. These activities included building and decorating piggy banks using plastic bottles, an initiative that not only promoted saving but also encouraged recycling.

In addition, the GMW challenge was held, involving five schools. This challenge aimed to instill good savings habits and raise awareness about the importance of recycling. At the end of the week, schools that collected and transformed the highest number of bottles into piggy banks were awarded.
