[kictanet] Social Entrepreneurship in Kenya

[Peter Wakaba]

Ebele,

>From a personal perspective:

*Jambo Pay:    https://www.jambopay.com/ <https://www.jambopay.com/>*

*JamboPay* is an online payment gateway in Kenya and Africa - I can pay
those annoying monthly bill without having to queue (convenience and
electronic record)


*Mo-de :

<https://www.linkedin.com/company/mode---mobile-decisioning-holding-ltd>*

Based in Nairobi, Kenya, MoDe <http://www.mo-de.co/> provides instant
nano-credit for pre-paid mobile phone users across Africa. The company MoDe
gives loans of between $0.06 and $22 to mobile phone users, initially in
the form of airtime, but have since moved onto a lot more in terms of
facilities or utilities such as electricity bills, water bills and
television subscriptions, nano insurance, etc. (micro loans for a phone
call are a big deal in Kenya)


*and a little know company known as the Interest rates Advisory Center*:
www.irac.co.ke

IRAC is the home of independent, objective and confidential :

1.Finance Cost Assurance Services (Overdraft Interest Confirmation) for
Corporates.
2. Interest Recalculation of Mortgages, Business and Personal Loans.
3.Interest Recalculation for all interest-earning accounts
4. In Duplum Check and Monitoring Services

They have been fighting the interest rates war for Kenyans for over  a
decade now.
