In 2019, Mastercard and CARE announced a new $5.26M partnership that will create new models and tools to financially include micro-entrepreneurs. We will equip 3.9 million micro and small businesses in Peru, Pakistan and Vietnam with tools, training, education, products and services to formalize and grow. This partnership, announced during the Global Inclusive Growth Summit, reinforces our shared commitment to accelerating women’s economic empowerment with at least 50% of the businesses reached being women-owned or operated.
