Testimonial
“Through this project, we are hoping to demonstrate that PAYG solar can drive mobile money adoption in markets with low mobile money penetration. This will show that the viability of the PAYG business model is not limited to countries that already have vibrant mobile money markets.” – Karl Skare, Director of New Business Initiatives, d.light
