CFE was founded by Daniyar Aliyev, who, as a high school student, recognized a gap in financial education. Finance shapes our futures, yet it’s rarely taught in a way that feels relevant or accessible to teens. So, he launched an organization dedicated to helping students learn finance, build confidence, and grow together.
Our mission is to make financial education approachable and engaging. We empower students with practical money skills, financial awareness, and the confidence to make informed decisions—believing that financial education should start early, in a supportive and inclusive community.
In a short time, our organization has grown from a single initiative into a wide-reaching movement. With multiple chapters and hundreds of students, we’re redefining what financial education looks like for the next generation.
We’ve hosted competitions challenging financial thinking and innovation, brought together industry leaders for impactful seminars, and built a strong community of young learners passionate about finance and economics. Our programs have reached diverse student populations across regions, creating opportunities for hands-on learning, real-world application, and leadership development.
By fostering collaboration, curiosity, and confidence, we’re not only building financial knowledge—we’re cultivating a generation of informed, empowered changemakers ready to lead.
