Abstract

Financial literacy is a crucial life skill, especially for Indonesian diaspora children at the Indonesian School in Jeddah (SIJ), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, most of whom come from families of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) with limited income. PMI families face economic challenges such as delayed wages, financial uncertainty, and social risks, which worsen their financial stability. The low financial literacy of SIJ students, exacerbated by the lack of financial education from families and schools, results in poor money management patterns. Research shows that financial habits are formed from the age of 7, while parental financial literacy plays a significant role in planning for children's education funds. Data from OJK and BPS recorded the national financial literacy index at only 65.43%, with lower figures among students (56.42%) and teenagers aged 15-17 years (51.70%), emphasizing the need for early educational intervention. The International Community Service Program at SIJ is designed to enhance students' understanding of saving and financial management through an engaging interactive approach. The method includes a one-day (3-hour) socialization on "Wise Financial Management" with interactive presentations and budget simulations, as well as a two-week simulation on "Learning to Recognize Investments with Stocklab" through stock market games. Data were collected through initial surveys, pre-tests, and post-tests to measure students' understanding, processed with descriptive analysis. The final results show that 85% of participants understand personal budgeting, with 90% engagement in socialization (75 10th-grade students). The Stocklab program enhances understanding of investments and simulated asset values, supporting positive financial habits and the well-being of PMI families
