A 36-year mother and a BRAC health worker in Itna sub district, Nazma Akter will forever remain grateful to bKash for helping out in an emergency. She has adopted mobile money in many facets of her life, both professionally and personally.  As a health worker, she was first introduced to bKash when BRAC began paying its frontline staff through their mobile wallets. Today when she goes from door to door through villages selling medicines, she never fails to mention that clients can pay through bKash.  She is also using bKash to aid her ‘homegrown’ tailoring business. Her customers pay through bKash and she delivers dresses to their doorsteps.

Six months ago, Nazma’s 10-year old daughter fell down and broke her leg and the medical bills piled up. But she managed to collect money from her relatives in Dhaka quickly through bKash, which would have been a daunting task otherwise. Nazma cannot appreciate bKash enough whenever she talks about her daughter.
