In March 2011 Kirunda Aaron started a mobile money business called Enjubatel in order to bring more economical money transfer options to rural areas of Uganda. Using the MTN platform, Enjubatel allows individuals, businesses, hospitals, and other organizations to securely and inexpensively send money using their mobile phones. Enjubatel also acts as a bank, allowing customers to make cash deposits and withdrawals by crediting or debiting their phone accounts.
Aaron was previously managing Enjuba’s online clothing company and teaching Enjuba’s social entrepreneurship class in a Ugandan secondary school.
