Mastercard has declared its commitment to the Girls4Tech program, focusing on girls aged seven to 12 to pursue careers in STEM fields.
Mastercard rolled out its first digital South African Girls4Tech Connect programme at Rose-Act Saturday School in Alexandra this week.
Mastercard’s Girls4Tech programme now includes a Connect website where online STEM courses can be downloaded for free.
The programme was announced ahead of this weekend’s International Women’s Day.
Currently in its fifth year, the STEM-focused education platform wants to reach one million girls over the next few years.
