#StartSomethingPriceless: Mastercard & World Food Programme

Everything starts with a gesture of generosity. As a leader in the drive towards financial inclusion, Mastercard is exploring innovative ways for people to make a difference. The company has installed interactive donation billboards around Paris that allow passers-by to donate a week of school meals for one euro via contactless payments, simply by holding up their phone. In partnership with the World Food Programme, Mastercard is committed to deliver 100 million school meals by June 2018 and ultimately contribute to reversing the cycle of poverty. You are invited to join the #StartSomethingPriceless movement by making a pledge. Share it with @Mastercard on Instagram or Twitter through a photo, video, or a simple statement.
