M-PESA now is providing on-the-ground mobile banking services that directly improve health care for women in Kenya, Tanzania and Afghanistan. Basically, M-PESA provides the quick cash people need for transportation to clinics and hospitals.
If a rural family without access to a bank needs cash to pay for transportation, M-PESA works with the Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania to transfer money quickly and directly to transportation companies by means of a mobile phone text message. The families then pay back the small transportation loan later.
In similar fashion, M-PESA is used to support the Changamka Medical Smartcard, allowing women in Kenya who have little access to money to pay for maternity care.
