The Mastercard foundation scholarship has been of great help to the beneficiaries. Mastercard Foundation is no doubt one of the best education-loving foundations in the world today.
Their target is very simple, to get and help bright but yet economically disadvantaged young scholars in and around Africa.
Through their scholarship program, millions of young talented Africans who never thought of going to college have left the shores of their countries to pursue their dream courses and careers.
It is commendable to still see companies that are still maintaining their core values in terms of charity, not minding the global economic hardship and the recent Covid-19 pandemic.
