GE MONEY has launched the first financial education programme in Singapore for troubled teenage girls between 14 and 16 years.

The lender is partnering Children-at-Risk Empowerment Association (Care) Singapore - a non-profit, voluntary welfare organisation - to address the learning needs of this group.

With about 90 per cent of Care's students coming from the Normal (Technical) Stream, the scheme will reach out to girls from Secondary 2 to 4 in its network of eight neighbourhood schools.
