These youth can now work on microtask platforms and earn digital assets and utilize Kotani Pay to earn their dues directly to their mobile money wallets.\nWe are also running a De-Fi program to enable farmers and landowners to access low-interest loans and perform transparent and real-time transactions, with a very easy repayment schedule and process. This ensures that these farmers can access inputs and multiply their output and earnings, drastically improving livelihood and financial stability\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "https://github.com/kotanipay", "projectTwitter": "@kotanipay"}
