Safaricom, one of the GSM cellular networks in Kenya, last week launched a new mobile money transfer service named M-Pesa. The service which is offered in partnership between Safaricom and Vodafone is available to all members of the Kenyan public, even if they lack a bank account or a credit/debit card.
This is the best news around, I’m doing volunteer work with african communities and our setback has been money transfer.
This will help many well wishers who want to help many initiatives that we are working with.Congrats.
