Malawi and Uganda, we are first going to start by selling through urban based
smartphone merchants (smartphone merchant shops). We want to understand in the
quickest and least stock intensive way – how customers in each respective country
repay their loans and can we become the biggest sustainable smartphone financing

business currently or one day and love to take full ownership of a project. You should
