Safaricom’s M-Pesa processes Sh700 million for Inua Jamii in January, benefiting 300,000 individuals, as per new disclosures.
The shift to M-Pesa follows a presidential directive to ease beneficiaries’ access to payments, saving them from bank transfer hassles.
The move underscores the government’s push for cashless payments, with M-Pesa emerging as a pivotal platform.
Safaricom anticipates serving two million Inua Jamii beneficiaries by September, reflecting the platform’s pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion and streamlining social welfare disbursements.
