FIYC2022 is a committee which gathers innovative and purpose-driven youths to work together to address and raise the awareness of financial inclusion within the communities they live in, starting from university campuses.

The main focus will be on the understanding, access and uptake of microtakaful among the disadvantaged communities.

You will advocate to get more people, especially the marginalised to be protected against financial risks as campus ambassadors.

The aim is to establish a sustainable national financial inclusion movement that will continue the work for many years to come.

The first Financial Inclusion Youth Committee Meeting is organised by Fun(d) for Life (a partnership between FWD Takaful and Arus Academy).

Some examples include 

-organising a workshop run by students at your university to teach the elderly how the importance of protection against adverse life events.

-running a TikTok campaign targeting the B40 to improve their awareness of microtakaful.

You are free to come out with your own ideas.

Grants are available for approved initiatives. You will also be able to meet other like-minded people who are passionate about improving the lives of all Malaysians. Besides, you may also be prioritised for internship positions with one of the organisers.

Your responsibilities, among others include: 

a) To plan and conduct advocacy campus events to raise awareness on financial inclusion

b) To plan and execute social media campaigns to recruit peers into the Financial Inclusion Youth Committee; and

c) To facilitate/support the Fun(d) for Life team in organising financial inclusion programmes.
