The Mastercard Foundation will spend $300-million to help about 500 000 refugees in Africa complete their education, giving them a pathway to jobs.
The foundation will work with the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, for the next five years to help displaced people complete secondary education, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
A spate of conflicts in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South South have resulted in 45-millions of people fleeing their homes to neighbouring countries, according to the foundation, calling it the world’s largest displacement crises.
