Mastercard’s technology plays a crucial role in addressing humanitarian emergencies by quickly and efficiently delivering cash and voucher assistance to those most in need.
For more than two decades, the company has worked with organizations like the World Food Programme and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to develop and streamline digital cash programs—whether through cards, mobile wallets, remittances, or bank accounts—to provide life-saving assistance in critical situations. This effort, along with other corporate initiatives, helps connect more people to the digital economy and maximize the availability of reliable and effective solutions.
Additionally, the Mastercard Foundation is deploying more than $360 million across all its programs to support refugees and displaced persons. At the same time, the foundation has contributed to various initiatives, including the COVID-19 pandemic response and support for refugee learners in Kenya—an important step toward aligning its work for greater impact.
