"Plan Canada is proud to have Visa on board as a sponsor with 'Because I am A Girl', as we promote education, self esteem and global change.

"Visa's financial education initiatives are characterized by their innovation, which has helped turn a significant number of people onto this topic. Examples like the financial literacy theater play: "Professor Q: Discover the magic of your financial power" and Financial Soccer, are strategic programs that have helped engage sectors of the population that traditionally have considered personal financial matters something for experts. To this end, Visa joins efforts at a broad national level to promote responsible financial inclusion."

"The activities offered by Visa in their website 'Practical Money Skills are highly educational and well regarded by both teachers and students. Children love to play games, and these colourful, creative games teach financial skills in a motivational and meaningful way. There are activities for children of all ages and CFEE is incorporating the Visa resources into those that we are recommending for teachers to use as they integrate financial education into the curriculum. "
