SAVE the Children, in partnership with Digicel Financial Services Ltd, has reached over 2,000 people in 339 households.
These were households situated mainly in the disaster-prone areas of Morobe as part of both organisation’s disaster preparedness work.
A total of K161,760 was distributed in the Mumeng and Watut local level government areas of the Bulolo.
This followed a signing of a memorandum of agreement between both organisations in October to work in partnership on mobile cash transfers.
The agreement paved the way for Save the Children beneficiaries to receive cash support on their mobile phones using Digicel’s Cellmoni.
Cellmoni supervisor for Momase, Anne Unage, thanked Save the Children for using Cellmoni to do cash and voucher assistance (CVA) with communities in Bulolo,” she said.
“The partnership enables beneficiaries to receive assistance in a faster and transparent way and to be financially included,” she said.
