10.With smart phones taking the world by storm,a phone that can only send and receive voice calls and text messages may seem like a relic from a past age.Yet in East Africa,simple phones like these are changing the face of the economy,thanks to the"mobile money"services that are spreading across the area.These services allow people without a bank account (账户) or credit card to use their phone as an electronic wallet that can be used to store,send or receive cash (现金).Using the mobile money service,users have to enter a number and password into the phone,so any money that is stored on it should be safe even if the mobile phone is lost.
There are tens of thousands of local agents in Kenya.For some the system is a lifeline."If I didn't have my mobile phone,I would be very poor,"says Neyasse Neemur,a mother of four children who lives in the Turkana district of northern Kenya."Now I can sell fish."Neemur took up fishing in July last year.She needed to dry her catch and sell it elsewhere.A truck from Ethiopia to Tanzania passes through her village once a week,and she had the driver take the fish several hundred kilometres south to market in Kisumu,where relatives sell the fish."I get the money transfer (中转) immediately,"says Neemur."Then I can pay for my children to go to school and for food.And I have bought two goats,"she adds,"so I don't need to eat fish."
