Africa's mobile market is said to be the fastest growing worldwide. The Kenyan coastal region is one example of incredible increase in mobile phone ownership. The fact is that many have phones without having electrical power, hence the emergence of a new profitable business : phone charging.
In Mishomoroni village in Mombasa, residents have started small phone charging kiosk. ‘I Am charging mobile phones and am really appreciating. At the end of the day I can have something to do with Ksh 100 and 150 and that money can help me to do several things and am living a very good life with this work of charging mobile here in Mishomoroni’, says Mr. Richard Otieno, a phone charging trader.
