Visa Commitment to Africa
The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ marks the first time a country in Africa has ever hosted the internationally-renowned event. With thousands of people heading to South Africa and millions—even billions—more watching from home, the event represents an opportunity for the country to benefit economically while showcasing the growing capabilities of the region to a global audience
At the same time, South Africa and the African continent continue to face ongoing economic and social challenges, including issues of poverty, health, education and the environment.
As a responsible corporate citizen dedicated to making a positive contribution to our local and global communities, Visa has a multi-year commitment to addressing challenges in South Africa and Africa more broadly. Our work focuses on contributing to poverty alleviation by providing resources and tools to bring more individuals into the formal financial system and by supporting social development initiatives to help those in need.
