This is our We DO Commitment,” said Pru Life UK President and Chief Executive Officer Eng Teng Wong.
“Cha-Ching and SAFE STEPS Kids are two core programmes of Prudence Foundation that aim to bring safety and protection to communities across Asia and Africa, through sustainable, long-term initiatives focused on education, health and safety. Given the unprecedented changes brought by the global pandemic in the rise of e-learning as well as the challenges and stress faced by many families across the world, we hope to make a positive contribution to the lives of children and their families with the launch of Cha-Ching Money Adventures and SAFE STEPS Kids Stress Busters,” said Nicole Ngeow Director, Prudence Foundation.
Filipino kids get a chance to try the Cha-Ching Money Adventures game with the installed mobile devices in the playzone and are guided by booth facilitators for a better playing experience. This activity helps improve their money decision-making skills with the fundamental concepts of Earn, Save, Spend and Donate within a compelling narrative adventure. Along with the Cha-Ching band characters, they are able to better engage with the money activities in the booth.
SAFE STEPS Kids Stress Busters encourages kids to take part in its six Stress Busters setups on how to take care of their health, and features a mental health video clip. This also teaches kids essential life skills, such as first aid, disaster, and road safety.

Cha-Ching and SAFE STEPS are Prudence Foundation’s notable award-winning initiatives. Cha-Ching provides kids with the knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions. Cha-Ching Money Adventures is the latest addition to the Cha-Ching ecosystem that was created in 2011, in cooperation with Cartoon Network, the leading children’s television channel in Asia Pacific. SAFE STEPS Kids, on the other hand, is a multi-platform educational and awareness building programme on life saving techniques for natural disasters, road safety and first aid. The programme partners with Cartoon Network and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

It is so important to teach kids to take care of their health. The younger the better.
These both sound like great games for kids that age! My older son is 9 and he’s doing a financial literacy class on Khan Academy. And ways to deal with stress are important at any age, but great to learn that young and make them habits.
I love the way they’re using technology to make learning about safety fun for the kids. We all know that kids don’t pay as much attention if they aren’t having fun.
I love games that promote things like this. We will be looking into downloading this.
This is so important for kids to learn more. Financial literacy should always be available to kids. Introducing such an online game helps our kids be more responsible when it comes to handling money and acquire life-saving health and safety skills.
This is interesting, kids would enjoy this. Using technology to improve education is cool. Thank you for sharing it!
Hhhhmm….it’s my first time seeing these games. I think my boys and I will love them.
Great to see how they are picking things to support children and keep child safe and away from stress.
