Ginga Financial Literacy Inc. was founded by a Boston Public school teacher in 2007, to address the socio-economic inequalities within the American public school system and disadvantaged communities. The philosophy of Ginga Financial Literacy Inc., is rooted in Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. Financial education remains costly for disadvantaged American communities. Young people are graduating from college with enormous amounts of student loan debt. Ginga provides an opportunity to make financial education affordable and provide disadvantaged young Americans with the ability to graduate from college free from destructive debt and the opportunity to become social entrepreneurs and financially literate.

Our mission is to promote the common good through financial literacy within disadvantaged public schools and communities. Gingaforlife's mission will help faciliatate a paradigm shift in disadvantaged communities from a consumer culture to an investment culture.
