Mastercard has partnered with Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN) to help bridge the digital and financial literacy gap amongst school students and young adults in Nigeria.
Through a series of programs, the students will be equipped with essential skills to prepare them for future success as digital entrepreneurs.
The partnership forms part of Mastercard’s global commitments to connect 25 million women entrepreneurs to the digital economy, reach 50 million small businesses and financially include one billion people in the next five years.
Leveraging the expertise of Mastercard employee volunteers, the partnership with JAN will inspire young adults across Nigeria through three unique activations which are Mastercard Girls4Tech Program; Mentoring participants of the JA Company Program; and Digital Payments Literacy Webinar.
