On May 28th, BeBetter became the first mainland Chinese organization to win the 2025 "The Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIAs)" with "Afutong Guardians of Mountain Children" program, receiving the "Best Non-profit Project for School Age Education" award.
We accept this international recognition with immense gratitude. We would like to thank Aflatoun International for the recommendation. This honor belongs to all partners who have supported financial literacy education for rural children—teachers, volunteers, donors, and every child courageously exploring financial knowledge.
Over the years, we have grown alongside 300,000 rural children, witnessing their progress from understanding currency to learning how to plan. We deeply understand how crucial these foundational skills are for their future lives. Yet, we also clearly see that many children in remote areas still lack access to basic financial education, and the shortage of teaching resources limits their future development.
The "Afutong Guardians of Mountain Children" program is designed to guide rural children in forming correct values and perspectives on wealth. It also incorporates content that addresses parents' top concerns, such as fraud prevention and scam awareness, effectively helping to prevent child fraud. With Afutong companionship, children have become more confident and courageous. They have learned self-management, saving, rational consumption, fraud prevention, and other financial literacy skills—taking step by step toward a better version of themselves.
