Child Financial Literacy, Simple Bookkeeping, Community Service, PERMAI, Program EvaluationAbstract
This community service program aims to instill children’s financial literacy through a child-friendly simple bookkeeping approach, while evaluating its effectiveness together with the collaborating partner, Pertubuhan Masyarakat Indonesia Pulau Pinang (PERMAI), and the target partner, Sanggar Bimbingan PERMAI. The activity was conducted in Penang using a pretest–posttest evaluation design involving children of Sanggar Bimbingan PERMAI, complemented by satisfaction surveys of both partners, analyzed descriptively and comparatively. Children’s understanding of the concepts of needs and wants, saving goals, and sharing habits showed a clear improvement after the intervention, while both partners expressed a high level of satisfaction with the relevance of the material and the implementation of the activity.
