For Underserved Communities, there are social aspects that also need to be tackled.
Many many many many organisations target these kinds of communities to try and help them. People are often suspicious of the help, because there are also many many many organisations that try to exploit them! Misleading terms, much higher hidden fees, etc, etc. Many have almost no access to high-quality services, just misleading ones.
Tackling this trust issue is essential to any success. In particular, I think that a 1099-style service like Uber is a bad fit for building trust. Though there are other ways to help someone apart from 'make them your employees'.
