Mastercard Foundation Project Coordinator - Facilities Jobs in Kenya
Mastercard Foundation is a global foundation based in Toronto, Canada with several offices in Africa.
Our programs promote financial inclusion and advance education and learning in Africa, primarily for young people, and in Canada for Indigenous youth.
The Foundation was established in 2006 through the generosity of Mastercard when it became a public company.
From inception, the Foundation was designed to be a separate entity and independent from Mastercard. Our policies, operations, and funding decisions are made by our President and Board of Directors.
The Foundation believes that youth employment is key to unlocking prosperity, both for youth and their societies.
Enabling young women and men from disadvantaged communities to secure dignified and fulfilling work will ensure inclusive development and economic growth in Africa.
Values are timeless, they transcend and rise above all. They guide everything we do, as employees of the Foundation.
We share a common vision of a world where everyone has the opportunity to learn and prosper.
We make mistakes, we reflect, and we grow so that we can impact our world – it’s why we are here. We are ambitious and driven.
We encourage you to bring your bold ideas, curiosity, and expertise to your work. We laugh at ourselves and with each other. We are a team. Our journey together makes our impact even more meaningful.
