A Digicel-Haiti phone card. Photo by Todd Huffman/flickr/cc.
Mobile money has been trumpeted as a means to transform financial transactions in Haiti, where only about 10 percent of people use traditional banks but 85 percent of households have access to a mobile phone.
About a year after the earthquake, USAID and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced plans to fund a mobile money initiative in Haiti that would allow customers to send and receive payments via cell phone. USAID contributed $5 million toward the project while the Gates Foundation donated $10 million. Both have hyped mobile money's effect in Haiti, USAID using its blog to imply that the service could "transform" the country. Fast Company reported that it's "taking off and allowing commerce to flourish." Together, the country's two major mobile operators recently surpassed the one millionth mobile money transaction.
But as the AP reported yesterday, mobile money in Haiti may be as much about hype—or at least potential—as substance:
As yet, though, few Haitians are buying the idea, which has become one of many post-quake projects to fall short of expectations and a reminder of how hard it is to change a society that has been repeatedly set back by political upheaval and natural disasters.
While there are nearly 800,000 registered mobile money users and more than 800 agent locations—places where customers can deposit or withdraw mobile funds—the AP reports that the services have only 22,000 regular users. The main reasons for slow uptake seem to lack of familiarity or fear of the unknown.
"I'm not going to invest my money in something I don't see," James Alexis, a 33-year-old truck driver in Port-au-Prince, told the AP.
Literacy rates can proxy for technological literacy, and in Haiti only about half of the adult population is literate. Unsurprisingly, more than 60 percent of early mobile money adopters had at least a secondary education.
The AP quotes Marteen Boute, former CEO of Digicel-Haiti, the country's largest cell company, talking about obstacles to uptake:
"Our main lesson learned is how difficult it is to educate customers," said Boute, who is now a senior adviser to the Jamaica-based company. "When we launched the service we assumed it would be something like selling a mobile phone, where you stick a mobile phone into someone's hand and almost anyone can start using it quite quickly because it's very easy to understand. With a mobile banking service or a mobile money service it's not quite that easy."
One of the first and most successful mobile money services, known as M-Pesa and also funded by the Gates Foundation*, started in Kenya in 2007. Seventy-three percent of Kenyans use mobile money, which has eased transferring and storing of money for millions there. Yet in stark contrast to Haiti, almost 90 percent of Kenyan adults are literate. And reporting on M-Pesa in 2010, The Economist noted a few of the disparate elements required for mobile money success: "the right technology, simple marketing, partnerships with banks, support from regulators."
Still, there may be opportunities to foster adoption of the services in Haiti by marketing to companies, non-profits, and the government in lieu of individual mobile users. A recently announced conditional cash transfer programthrough which the Haitian Government will pay mothers who keep their children in school will use mobile money. World Vision and UNDP have both used the services to pay staff or to transfer funds to aid recipients.
If your employer or an aid program pays you with mobile money reliably and regularly for months, you might be more inclined to trust and adopt the service for personal transactions.
But at least for now, most Haitians have yet to be convinced to trade in their tangible cash for e-money.
*The Gates Foundation provided funding to expand M-Pesa beyond Kenya in 2010; it did not fund the startup of M-Pesa in Kenya.
A number of the issues we found here in Haiti revolved around the lack of reliable times for finding vendors; the service itself fails more often than it should and very low limits on the daily amounts. A business can not viably use TchTch in Haiti when the daily maximum deposit is a fraction of daily business volume.
Mpesa in Kenya has grown in leaps and bounds now it is linked to most ATM machines and I can even access bank accounts and bank from or withdraw to my phone. Actually, whenever am at bar restaurant where they know me I can pay bill with Mpesa. Its amazing.
On the business side I tried using the Digicel mobile money service and found that it is unusable. Lots of technical problems. Not a viable service in Haiti in my opinion at this time.
Thanks for the correction, Kimutai. I've updated and corrected the post.
'One of the first and most successful mobile money services, known as M-Pesa and also funded by the Gates Foundation, started in Kenya in 2007.' Do not think Gates had anything to do with Mpesa start up. Safaricom our local company implemented it with a French shareholder.

Charles E Parker Junior, 47, of Knowlesville is charged for two alleged cases of misconduct in the Orleans County Jail in October and November.
The seven-year veteran Correction Officer is accused of having inappropriate conduct with a female inmate in the jail. He's also accused of giving money to the sister of a different inmate, which police say was then used to post her bail.
Parker was ordered to give up his weapons after an order of protection was issued for those involved.

There's a large possibility my husband, daughter and I will be relocating to the Galax area from the Roanoke area. I've been perusing all the Galax/Grayson County websites and I must say, I have fallen in love with the area and I've not even visited it yet. One thing that stood out to me, while a minor detail to some, were the sidewalks in town. My daughter requires a wheelchair, and I'm always noticing whether I'll be able to let her enjoy everything the general population does.
We'll initially be looking for a rental house, but I can see us eventually purchasing a house and making our home there. I'm hoping to visit within the next week or so and look around.....
So tell me, if we move there, will we be "Galaxians" or "Galaxers"? Either way, I'll be proud to say I'm a resident in such a fine area.
Galax is a great little community. We do have a movie theater, skating rink (etc) and tons of Outdoor Recreation as well as regional festivals and musical events. I have been working hard with clients in the tourism industry for years now. You just have to be willing to accept that not everything is inside the Galax city limits like it is in a bigger city. When you live in a small town, you have a few cool things here, and then a broad spectrum of things in the small towns surrounding you. We share a similar heritage and culture and this is a wonderful place to live whether you are single or married with kids. There are several nice restaurants in Galax, and really cool places to shop downtown. For more area attractions look at the Carroll County (a shared community!) website: Visittheblueridge.com or check VisitGalax.com. Best of luck in your transplant here. And all I can say is that if you hear people say it sucks, or its boring or there is nothing to do, they just don't realize yet the treasures we have in our own backyard! I've been here since 2002 and love it. And I grew up in the area years and years before that.
Im 31 and single and about to move to Galax. Im coming from a college town home of the Hogs in Arkansas. I do like beautiful countryside and outdoor activities. A concern I have is meeting people my own age who have similar interests. Does the town have a fitness center,theatre,etc. Where do people go on the weekends? The job Im taking there seems like it will be a great opportunity for me I just concerned about the social aspect of living there.
Seth . . . . . Its gonna be hard
My first tip for you is to go for a rental unit to deposit your stuff and then search for a house, it will be much easier for you to face the relocation process. I had an office relocation in Galax and it wasn't too difficult to adapt. The place is really nice if you're into countryside landscapes.
Welcome to the boonies...
Don't do it. Galax suuuuuucks.

Lisa - I have a question. what is the age where a hen has reached her egg laying maturity and starts a decline in egg production? What is the age that a hen should be replaced? I have fellow chicken raisers that say 18 mo. is when they should be considered done/butchered. But I have some wonderful hens that seem to keep laying (black copper marans). Of course I am a softy and consider all 11 of my hens my friends... If you know what I mean. I was told by others that it is a matter of the health of the chicken and how well they are fed and kept that keeps them laying longer. thanks! Avid fan in Green Bay, WI
ReplyDeleteRepliesWow. Whoever told you 18 months is seriously misinformed. A hen generally molts for the first time at about 18 months old and after that her eggs get larger and better in quality. I have two hens that are 4 years old and still going strong. A well-cared for hen should live for 10-12 years and continue to lay, albeit at a slower pace, her entire life.
I just can't imagine 'rewarding' one of our hens who has provided us eggs, companionship and so much joy and hilarity for years with a trip to the stew pot. No sooner could I kill our cat or dog just because they get old. As long as our hens are healthy and have a good quality of life, they will continue to live with us.
Another thing to think about, older hens make much better broodies, tending to be better mothers, so you can stick fertile eggs under them and give them that 'job' once their laying slows down. They also are smarter and better at avoiding predators and teach those qualities to the younger hens. I so hope you will refer your chicken-keeping friends to our blog and facebook page because they clearly have been getting information that is not correct. p.s. glad you're a softie, I am too!
I can't wait for the first issue to come out! I signed up last week :)
Congrats on all the wonderful happenings! It's so exciting!Lisa, you rock!! You are a rock star. I'm so darned impressed. So I want to hear more. Did you do a post on the book writing?
We love comments and try to respond to each one. Please visit us at facebook.com/FreshEggsDaily for more tips, advice and photos of our flock. Thank you for following along as we live our wonderful, natural country life.

Why all them females getting abused. Yes we all know that they are all juveniles but they should still have a fair way of treatment. Basically, to make it short, females especially young one should not be abused. What if some been through that before and felt that being locked was a better way of living than being abuse at home. But now as I read this artical and you read what I'm saying or know what I'm saying you should have a better understanding to what I'm saying. If you cannot answer my question give me someone who can.

I wanna shoot flames.
Thank! Agree. Likely going to pull the front subframe this week so i can reinforce it and then pull the motor again because teh new flywheel should be here on friday.
Nope, no reason to run stainless piping on this car, just like we talked about. The muffler will likely be stainless though. Chris at Real Street was showing us how he coats all of the piping after it is welded up. Pretty sweet.
Exactly how I felt. They were working on a bagged S10 with an LS1 in it when we were there.
Well, aside from the pressurized air that finds its way into the valvetrain.... it is fairly common for boosted cars to see pressure in the valve cover region. However, I have never been one to worry about that more than just running a hose out. Shit, on my gti i ran without anything and sprayed oil all over my shiny engine bay. ha
2-3 weeks. Lots of work to do before then. I would like to have the exhuast done before it gets painted.
Mahoney talked me into polishing the barrels on the Kinesis wheels. So I started that last night.
If we built a small bracket so that the hose opening was always facing the rear of the car, there would be some solid vacuum any time you're moving forward.
I would hate for oil to come out of the line under boost and then have to worry about driving on it. Especially on a track day or something. I am sure the track attendants would love that. I am not sure how much oil would come out, but when you putting down in front of your rear wheels, any is more than I would want.

There most definitely needs a 'like' button on that photo.
"...Camouflage is indeed my favorite color..." - Travis
kinda hard to photo the barrels under house lighting with a flash. just shows the imperfections and shit.
Plus it is a good way to rust proof the under side of the car... just have a light mist of oil on everything.

Kingston sports star Hobie Armstrong getting Dietz monument
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Ron Woods witnessed all 24 football games Hobie Armstrong played for Kingston High over the 1956, 1957 and 1958 seasons.
"Speed and power," Woods said describing Armstrong. "You would see him run into a pile of players and come out the other side.
"Against Newburgh he came out of the pile with one shoe. He still ran for a touchdown."
Armstrong, who scored 37 career touchdowns, will be honored at halftime of tonight's Kingston-Warwick game at Dietz Stadium. He will receive the inaugural Hobie Armstrong Excellence Award.
"I've been on the (Kingston) Recreation Committee 41 years," Woods said. "I always wanted to have a plaque or monument for Hobie."
The Hobie Armstrong Excellence Committee will present Armstrong with a plaque, while a monument with his likeness will be unveiled next to the ticket booth between the stadium entrance gates.
Kingston athletic director Glen Maisch, a strong advocate for the Armstrong honor along with Woods and Joe Hoffman, anticipates the ceremony will begin at approximately 7:45.
"Halftime will start with the band performing," Maisch said. "Then Hobie comes out, and the football team comes out.
"The plaque will be presented, and the band will play 'Eye of the Tiger.'"
Armstrong spoke with enthusiasm about receiving the award. Continued...
"It's a good thing," he said. "I first heard about it two years ago, and now it's happening.
"It's fine with me that they want to honor me for my past exploits."
As for future recipients, Armstrong had one suggestion for the committee.
"I hope they look to honor a person who's still living," he said. "It just means so much to me to get this now."
Along with football, Armstrong played basketball and baseball for Kingston before entering prestigious Harvard University. Tiger football teams never lost during his career.
"We had some good teams back then, and there have been some good ones since," Armstrong said. "It goes in a cycle.
"Monroe-Woodbury has been the big team for a few years. The thing I notice is the kids are not as interested or immersed in sports like we were."
The one game the Tigers could not win in the Armstrong era was against Vincentian of Albany.
"We had a tie with Vincentian in my senior year," he recalled. "I got hurt in the first quarter.
"My knee was damaged, but I came back in the fourth quarter to run two plays. We outplayed them, and they were happy to get the tie." Continued...
Three victories over Newburgh were decisive.
"We dominated Newburgh," Armstrong said. "We beat some good teams like New Rochelle and Mont Pleasant (Schenectady).
"Mont Pleasant came in here my sophomore year on a 14-game winning streak. We beat them 14-7, and I scored both touchdowns."
Woods had a vivid memory of the Mont Pleasant conquest.
"It was a great game," he said. "Dietz was packed.
"I remember Hobie and (coach) Bill Burke hugged each other when they won."
Armstrong respected Burke's sportsmanship even if it meant less playing time in the second half when Kingston had an opponent under control.
"Coach Burke didn't want to run up scores," Armstrong said. "He would take the starters out after the first series of the second half."
Burke had a wealth of talent to utilize and spread around the workload.
"I wasn't the only good player," Armstrong said. "We used a T formation with variations. Continued...
"I learned the three running back positions as a sophomore. They used me at left halfback, right halfback and fullback.
"I was not a featured back. I didn't get the ball more than 10 or 12 times a game."
Word spread quickly of Armstrong's big play capability. Opponents wanted no part of him returning punts and kickoffs.
"Most of my touchdowns came from the line of scrimmage," he said. "They wouldn't kick the ball to me.
"I had really good speed and decent size. I patterned my running style after Jim Brown and always tried to keep my legs moving.
"I used a stiff arm on tacklers. That's something you don't see much any more."
Armstrong also played regularly on defense.
"I was the deep halfback on our 5-4-2 defense," he said.
Hoffman, a veteran of the Kingston sports scene like Woods, lauded Armstrong for his community involvement.
"Hobie has meant a lot to Kingston," Hoffman said. "He was a great kid growing up.
"The main thing with Hobie is he came back to Kingston to be with his parents. He has given back to the community so many ways and works at it every day."

The Kizelewiczes have also dealt with medical problems, a common issue for couples marrying late in life. Two weeks after the birth of their daughter, David had prostate surgery after being diagnosed with cancer a month before the baby's due date. Years later, he has it under control as a result of the couple's combined efforts to stay on top of appointments and medications, Natalie said.
Otherwise, Natalie no longer feels the age different as much as she used to, she said. David has slowed down a bit, but so has she. Their 7-year-old nephew seems to notice, asking how old David will be when the boy reaches his age.
"He tells him, 'I'm going to live until I'm 100; don't you worry,'" she said.
David also thinks about it sometimes -- when Natalie is 60, he'll be 80.
"Though we have a really good life right now, that's the only thing I kind of worry about," he said. "That's time to come, but so far it's been great. Age hasn't really caught up to us."
