According to the rails of partner Codici Social Research Agency from Italy, we conducted a survey on the need for financial literacy of Roma people. By using research methods, namely, the analysis of secondary sources, guided interview and focus groups of Roma assistants and professional staff (there were 22 people involved in both focus groups), we tryed to analyze the current situation and financial needs of the Roma population. In the end we gatherd the ideas for resolving the difficulties they are facing with. The analysis of this research will lead us to the development of educational program and teaching aids for the financial literacy of Roma adult.
