Mobile phone cash tranfers in Kenya


Concern Worldwide is pioneering an emergency project in Kenya, working through mobile phone operator, Safaricom, which runs a money transfer scheme called m-Pesa. This allows people to send cash from one part of the country to another, by paying money to an agent who then sends a text message to the recipient, who collects the cash from a second agent.
