Right. That's important to make this program work, and it's an unusual set of circumstances. Not many places have both extremely poor people and a high-quality mobile payment network!
Bad stuff can still happen: people could potentially be swindled or harassed out of their cash once they get it. But at least getting it there is a huge step.
Also, perhaps one thing you can take from this is that a full-featured mobile payment network needn't be thought of just as conveniences for the first world. It also makes stuff like this possible.
