OkHi: a physical address should not be a luxury

So much of our daily lives and our identity is tied to our address – the street name and number that defines where we live – from applying for a job to banking and gaining access to health care. Nairobi, Kenya based OkHi wants to provide a physical address to the estimated 4 billion people in the world who don’t have one. It is defined as a new generation address system based on mapping technology. Beyond simple identification, it is at once a solution for improved commerce, logistics and emergency services! #NeedEconomy #beincluded
