"Uber for Everything" Is Revolutionizing Africa’s Economy

Students have developed an app dubbed "Uber for Cows" (Movr) which helps connect truck drivers with farmers in remote areas who want to get their cattle to market.

Hello Tractor App ("Uber for Tractors") allows farmers to get ahold of unused tractors in their locality.

Other services like Little (a ride-hailing app), Flare (Uber for Ambulances), and GetMyBoat (peer-to-peer boat lending) are closing service gaps that exist in healthcare, tourism, and day-to-day transportation.
