Mobile Money Congo has
signed a partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to raise
CFA150 million to support efforts to combat maternal mortality in the Republic
of Congo.
The official signing
ceremony took place in the presence of UNFPA Resident Representative in the

The partnership is aimed at
mobilising resources through a crowdfunding initiative to contribute to
improving maternal health and preventing maternal deaths in the country.
Under the initiative,
contributions can be made through two payment channels: MoMo+, available
through www.momoplus.africa, and the UNFPA walking
account, which allows donors to contribute by dialling 1056582161amount#.
Mobile Money Congo described
the partnership as a common commitment placed under the sign of solidarity,
calling on the public to support the fundraising effort and help save lives.
The initiative is anchored
on the message: "Because no woman should lose her life giving life!"
