Eze Foundation Information

Financial literacy impacts individuals and families well beyond the money and their households. It impacts wealth, health, longevity and legacy. A study from the TIAA-CREF Institute shows that people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for retirement, and that people who plan for retirement have more than double the wealth of people who do not. Lower financial literacy rates are reflected in higher debt, lower borrowing ability, increased rates and fees when they can borrow and less investment. This vicious cycle often continues generation after generation. The Eze Foundations mission is to equip, encourage and inspire personal freedom and financial self-sufficiency for individuals, families and children. Led by a team that is dedicated to helping impact others lives, we partner with trusted organizations to deliver programs and services that profoundly reshape financial literacy success and help change lives for generations to come. We seek to equip every person we serve. We know the power that financial literacy has to transform lives. Financial literacy opens the door to economic self-sufficiency, which has a rippling effect for generations. We are certain about that and are dedicated to serving as many people as we can so they can improve the quality of their lives.

He died without leaving his family any sort of wealth or inheritance. This is what has inspired me to help families, individuals and children around the globe by teaching financial education in a way that is simple and helps them experience economic self-sufficiency ...
