THE EDGE EDUCATION FOUNDATION

The Edge Education Foundation (TEEF) is the charitable arm of The Edge Media Group. It focuses on education because education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. TEEF promotes two main initiatives in the field of education – English proficiency and financial literacy. Our target audience is youths, particularly those in secondary school. TEEF’s signature programme in the area of financial literacy is ‘Money & Me: Youth Financial Empowerment Programme’. Money & Me was designed in-house with funding from Citi Foundation, and launched in 2016 in five schools in collaboration with partners from the private sector.

Citizenship is core to Citi and a responsibility shared by all of our businesses, clients, suppliers and communities. In Malaysia, Citi continued its citizenship mission across three focus areas – Urban Transformation, Financial Inclusion and Youth Economic Opportunities. In 2016, we received a USD$200,000 grant from Citi Foundation and worked closely with our partners to execute a range of programmes that directly impacted people and communities at large.

EY’s purpose is building a better working world. We are committed to taking the knowledge and experience we use in our business every day and applying it where it can make the largest positive impact on the livelihoods of people in our communities. For EY, that means two things, above all — driving inclusive growth and supporting the next generation. In Malaysia, EY volunteers contribute their knowledge and experience to the Junior Achievement programme and the Money & Me: Youth Financial Empowerment Programme.
