Description
One Hen, Inc., empowers kids to be social entrepreneurs who make a difference for themselves and the world
Our two innovative programs, One Hen: Microfinance for Kids, and The Good Garden: Food Security for Kids use interactive media, hands-on learning and a pertinent social issue to teach students in grades 3 - 8 financial responsibility, global awareness, personal initiative, and the value of giving back to build their community.
Students learn the basics of business and money management, receive micro-loans to start simple businesses, research a social problem, and use their profits to help solve it. Our programs equip children with the basic financial literacy they need to develop sound economic skills and values.
