Mastercard, the global financial services corporation, recently announced its partnership with the leading humanitarian organization, CARE, to launch a new initiative called Strive Women. This groundbreaking collaboration aims to support and empower women entrepreneurs worldwide, enabling them to succeed in their businesses and create a lasting impact on their communities.
Strive Women recognizes the significant role that women play in economic development and equality. Through this alliance, Mastercard and CARE will provide women with essential resources, training, and access to financial services, ultimately helping them overcome barriers and achieve sustainable growth in their enterprises.
The initiative will primarily focus on three key areas:
- Education and skills development: Strive Women will offer tailored training programs designed to enhance participants’ entrepreneurial skills and business management abilities. Women will gain crucial knowledge in areas such as financial literacy, marketing, business planning, and technology.
- Access to financial services: Mastercard’s expertise in digital payments, coupled with CARE’s global network, will enable women entrepreneurs to access banking services, funding opportunities, and safe payment solutions. By promoting financial inclusion, Strive Women aims to boost financial autonomy, enabling women to invest in their businesses and improve their livelihoods.
- Mentorship and networking: Strive Women will provide guidance and mentorship from successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with a network of like-minded professionals, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and potential partnerships.
Mastercard and CARE share a vision of a world where gender equality is realized, and women are empowered to thrive. Their partnership in launching Strive Women is a testament to their commitment to social progress and economic empowerment for all. Together, they believe that by unlocking the potential of women entrepreneurs, communities and economies can flourish.
“We are thrilled to join forces with CARE in launching Strive Women. This partnership allows us to leverage our core capabilities and expertise in the financial sector to empower women entrepreneurs worldwide,” said Jane Doe, CEO of Mastercard.
