Ahead of the third annual Lotus’s Ceria Charity Run (CCR) 2025 this month, the retail chain has announced its commitment to channel the RM400,000 raised from CCR 2024 into education programmes under the Lotus’s-Pintar Smart Up School Programme. The programme will benefit more than 6,400 students, aged 10 to 15, from 40 of Lotus’s adopted schools nationwide.
The first school to experience the programme was SMK Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (SMK SAAS) in Kajang last month, with participation from Form Two students.
“The programme’s objective is to teach students how to be financially savvy. It teaches them how to budget and to understand the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’,” she said.
Developed in collaboration with Pintar Foundation, the programme aims to provide students with robust and sustainable education through two key phases:
Instil a smart consumer mindset through specially designed modules that encompass “needs” versus “wants”, visualising financial goals, Smart budgeting, cost comparison and packaging awareness.
Students will progress to this stage to learn practical strategies for enhancing academic performance, navigating adolescence and creating a supportive school environment. Phase 2 is scheduled to begin in the latter part of the year.
The third module is Smart Spending, which teaches students how to stretch money, to get the best value and the difference between promotions.
As SMK SAAS headmistress Maheran Abdul Rahman put it: “The initiative and programme by Lotus’s and Pintar Foundation is helpful for students to better understand the importance in becoming an intelligent consumer.”
Following the first half of the programme, the media spoke to SMK SAAS students on their experience.
“For me, it is hard to save money as it will always finish fast. The programme has shown me how to spend and manage my finances better,” she said.
“I learned that we should spend wisely and not just on whatever we want.”
