Mastercard’s ‘Tap for Change’ campaign powers Sri Lanka’s largest community-driven cancer care initiative

REITERATING its commitment to ‘Doing Well by Doing Good,’ Mastercard has launched its ‘Tap for Change’ campaign in Sri Lanka, an initiative empowering cardholders to turn everyday digital payments into lifesaving impact.

The campaign has been launched in collaboration with the Colours of Courage Trust, established to unite communities to support cancer patients and expand access to care, fostering peace, reconciliation, and shared humanity.

Mastercard has pledged to donate $ 750,000 towards the construction of the Trail Cancer Hospital in Karapitiya, a 10 storey, 160-bed facility that will provide advanced cancer care for both adult and paediatric patients.

Equipped with cutting-edge diagnostics, a bone marrow transplant unit, operating theatres, and a full continuum of care, the hospital will significantly expand access to oncology services and elevate cancer treatment across Sri Lanka.

The Trail Cancer Hospital stands as a beacon of hope for the nation—improving outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients. The initiative builds on Mastercard’s global track record of leveraging its network, technology, and partnerships to advance social impact, from healthcare access to education and financial inclusion.
