Angela Mutila (L) stands beside the vegetable stand she started with a cash grant August 26, 2009 in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Mutila is one of dozens of Kibera residents to start a local business with the assistance of cash grants. The non-governmental organization (NGO) Concern, in cooperation with local Kenyan groups, has launched a campaign to provide the urban poor with cash grants to start a business or get back on their feet after suffering disproportionately from post-election violence in 2007. The money is transferred to the recipients via a mobile phone which insures a safe and simple financial transaction to customers who don�t have bank accounts. Hairdressers, grocery stores and food vendors are just some of the businesses that have been financed through the program.
