Panelist: Segeni Ng’ethe

Segeni Ng’ethe Founder and President MamaMikes Mama Mikes is an online service that enables immigrants in Europe or the United States to send gift vouchers for a variety of practical and thoughtful items to their families and friends in Kenya and Uganda. Vouchers can be purchased for groceries, bedding, and airtime (phone minutes) for mobile phones. Before MamaMikes, an immigrant had only one option: visit a money transfer service, transfer the money (less the service charge) to their relative, and hope that this relative will use these funds for practical purchases. With MamaMikes, the immigrant is able to send the funds directly to a designated vendor to ensure that the purchase is made in accordance with their wishes. |
