Digitizing wages to empower tea workers in Malawi

This video talks about a 2024 pilot initiative by the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA) and the Tea Association of Malawi (TAML) to digitize wage payments on Malawi’s tea estates. The program began at Makandi Estate, reaching over 7,000 workers and smallholder farmers. Its goal is to improve access to digital financial services—especially for women and small merchants—by replacing cash payments with secure digital options.
