Mastercard Foundation

Mastercard Foundation's partnership with Ashesi University Foundation Canada and Ashesi University in Ghana is an education initiative that will enable Ashesi to expand its education collaborative to include at least 140 universities. The collaborative drives systems change and influences education policies in Africa and beyond. The initiative will also provide scholarships to approximately 1,000 Scholars over ten years and enable 400 young people to scale their ventures through Ashesi's Venture Incubator program.

Mastercard Foundation's partnership with UNICEF will play a pivotal role in the success of the Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative, leading the procurement of vaccine doses and their upstream delivery from manufacturer to port of entry. By providing vaccines to over 50 million people in Africa, the program will ensure a safe enabling environment for African youth to pursue their education and entrepreneurial goals.

Mastercard Foundation's partnership with African Leadership Group will enable 2 million young men and women in Africa to secure dignified and fulfilling work. It will also enable the development of a sustainable youth-led entrepreneurship and employment model across Africa, a model for sustainable education financing, and a blueprint for an accelerated work creation program.
