General: How it works

[Ottawan]

Giving all citizens knowledge is very powerful. The first step is to
make that knowledge available.
>From Youtube to HomeDepot, the tools are made for people to explore.

Once it was suggested to make a such a site in Tamil.

Here are some interesting sites of interest:

Hydro Power: http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/hyhowworks.html

Statistics show $93bn in remittances is sent by migrants overseas to
Africa each year and M-Pesa hopes to tap into this transfer of funds.

A sim card is needed to operate an M-Pesa account. This has a money
transfer menu that allows account funds to be managed.

"You just deposit cash to one of M-Pesa shop and we issue you with e-
value cash voucher on your M-pesa account" "The vouchers can be cashed
at any appointed agent across the country."

through phone SMS [text message]. just using phone they send money to
another person with phone. no need for a computer or a bank
