The Mastercard Foundation envisions a society in which everyone has the chance to study and flourish. Through its Young Africa Works strategy and Canadian EleV initiative, the Foundation collaborates with partners to ensure that millions of young people, particularly young women, have access to quality education, financial services, and dignified employment. The Mastercard Foundation was founded in 2006 as a result of Mastercard’s generosity after becoming a public business. The Foundation operates independently, with its own Board of Directors and CEO.
WORK AT THE FOUNDATION
We are now in an exciting era at the Mastercard Foundation as we ramp up the implementation of the Young Africa Works plan, which aims to enable 30 million young people across Africa to find dignified and fulfilling work.
To make the Foundation more accessible to our partners and program participants, we have built offices in Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Uganda. These offices provide substantial in-country assistance for the Young Africa Works initiative. We work with governments, the private sector, educators, and other funders to improve the quality of education and vocational training, prepare young people for the workforce, increase access to financial services for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and connect job seekers with meaningful employment opportunities.
Our ideals serve as guiding principles, transcending and outweighing all other factors. We sincerely urge you to apply your innovative ideas, curiosity, and knowledge to your job.
