Improving Healthcare
Making it easier for healthcare professionals:
• Mezzanine smartphone app captures vaccination records.
• Automated stock level reports = supply chain optimisation.
• Monitored refrigeration = safe storage of vaccines.
• Automatic calculations for numbers of vaccinations.
• Data collection improves future service provision.
mVaccination
In 2012, 22.6 millionchildren didn’t
receive (basic) vaccinations.
Stock Visibility Solution
In times of conflict women’s health disproportionately suffers.
Having visibility of medical stock levels is crucial to minimising
this suffering. Our Stock Visibility Solution means that control
over medicine stock levels can be automated & efficiency improved.
Medical Stock Levels
Nompilo Healthcare App
There are 57 African countrieswith
a critical shortage of healthcare workers and a deficit
of 2.4 million doctors and nurses. The App allows
nurses and healthcare works, most of whom are women,
to review and update patient records remotely via their
handsets.
Bulk SMS Platform
The United Nations has declared the Syrian crisis the worst humanitarian crisis
of the 21st century and the situation in refugee camps seems to be worsening.
Accessing vital birth control, female sanitary products and other necessary
medication / healthcare products can be very difficult for women in crisis.
Vodafone’s Bulk SMS platform has the potential to help here. NGOs
and Charities can use this service to update women on stock availabilities.
Bulk SMS provides a fast, affordable, and effective form of communication
and is easy to set up and use.
Safety and Security
35% of all women still experience physical
and or sexual violence at some time in their lives.

M-Pesa:
Secure Payments
Over 25 million
active users
More than
4.5 billion
M-Pesa transactions
every year.
M-Pesa: Secure Payments
• Saving money in a safe place is difficult for many women
in emerging markets.
• Refugees are particularly vulnerable to theft.
• M-Pesa gives women autonomy over their finances.
• They can transfer and receive money safely & securely
with M-Pesa.
Economic Empowerment
M-Pesa: Empowering Business
M-Pesa is the world’s most successful money transfer service.
It enables millions of people who have access to a mobile phone,
but not to a bank account, to send and receive money and pay bills.
M-Pesa enables women to have better control of their
finances by securely sending and receiving payments
via their mobile phone.
• M-Pesa has had a positive economic & social impact on the women
in the fishing industry in Lake Victoria (Kenya).
• Because of M-Pesa women can now protect their own earnings
and save for their businesses, support their families, and send
their children to school.
• M-Pesa has also given women more free time. They no longer need
to travel with their fish to sell it; instead the fish can be sent via public
transport to customers and it allows for immediate money transfers.
Most of the women now have the time to process more fish to sell
and grow their businesses, some have even been able to build their
own fishing boats and others have started other businesses outside
of fishing (farming, tailoring and retail).
In Africa, 80% of
agricultural production
comes from small farmers,
who are predominantly female.
Women make up
the largest percentage
of the agricultural
workforce, but
do not have access
and ownership over
land and resources.

Our Services and Solutions can help in four key areas
Case Study
Educating Girls
Due to a predicted significant rise in the world’s population
in the coming years, increasing agricultural productivity will
be a major challenge.
• Vodafone has been working with partners in government, the
private and non-profit sectors and we have gained experience
and insights from developing and testing new solutions in a wide
range of countries.
• Mobile solutions have the potential to help farmers.
Connecting them equates to increased productivity and income:
- Greater access to financial services.
- Delivering agricultural information.
- Improving data visibility and supply chain efficiency.
- Enhancing access to markets.
Even today, girls are less likely to gain an education than boys: they
constitute more than 54% of the non-schooled population globally.
#Selfies4School
Vodafone India and the Vodafone Foundation
are working in partnership with Educate Girls,
an NGO concerned with keeping girls in
Rajasthan in school for longer. Through the
#Selfies4School campaign in 2014-15, Vodafone
promised to send 10 girls to school for every
selfie that was uploaded on Facebook and Twitter.
We received more than 5,800 selfies!
Mezzanine School
Management Solution
We offer a mobile application that offers
real-time management of schools in Africa.
Administration and governance within schools

e-school programme in South Africa to extend
the range of teaching materials and techniques
available for students. All materials are available
at no cost via a smartphone including free data
access for Vodacom South Africa customers.
Within six months of launch, Vodacom e-school
had passed the 100,000 user milestone.
Instant Network School

agency have developed an Instant Network
School. This is an integrated platform with
internet, power, tablets, mobile content and
teacher training and has the ability to reach
isolated locations. This has already benefited
20 schools in Kenya, DRC, Tanzania and
South Sudan.
