Key Interventions & Solutions
Smart Cards
Usage of smart cards will eliminate cash transactions as the Smart cards will be connected to various mobile money platforms for prepayment. The individual cards will be charged with an amount in Kwachas. The amount will be deducted from the Smart Card upon receiving a set batch of water from the dispenser.
