Commissioned by Mastercard, the “FIVE” films – HARFA, JUSTICE OF THE PIES, ONGANIC FOODS, SARAH’S BAG, and TALENTO INCLUIR – follow the journey of five women from five countries across the globe who have each set out to start a purpose-driven business to improve and uplift their communities. After announcing a dedication to providing 25 million women entrepreneurs with solutions that can help them grow their businesses by 2025, spotlighting these five stories is one more way Mastercard is bringing awareness to some of the world’s most critical issues challenging financial inclusion.
