Phone App Helps Africa?

Farmers in Africa had been getting cheated out of money from cow sells. People would come by their cows to sell them to dairy farms but the farmers didn't know how much to charge for them. The farmers would end up selling their cows alot cheaper than what the others were going to sell them for. Leaving the farmers cheating out of product and the amount of work went into raising it.

Now an application has been created for phones that will help farmers in Africa solve this problem. One of Kenya's own, Amos Gichamba, created the application. It was created so that when the farmers have questions about what to charge they can send a text asking their question and it will be answered according to the market at the time. Gichamba said that Africa was taking their problems into their hands and solving them.
