Unbanked but Undaunted: The Landscape of Digital Remittances for Refugees | IOM
Refugees comprise some of the world’s most economically vulnerable populations in the world. In Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya, many of the 185,0000 refugees are unable to work or access traditional banking services because of their displacement. Mobile money transfers sent by family or friends abroad via websites or cellphones are often the only economic lifeline for the displaced. Still, credible information about accessing such systems is limited. I spent one week in Kakuma Camp documenting the work of Samuel Hall and the International Organization for Migration as they partnered with local organizations to educate refugees about money transfer systems.

Meet Margaret from the Ruben Centre for Edmund Rice Development
Margaret Kariuki was born in the Mukuru Slum in Nairobi, Kenya. She was given the opportunity to be educated at Ruben Primary School in Mukuru where she excelled. The Ruben Centre gave her a scholarship to secondary school to continue learning. After graduating from college, she found her way back to the Ruben Centre where she now works as Public Relations Manager. “Sometimes I sit back and wonder if they never gave me an opportunity to go to school, where would I be. Ruben Centre gave me education. Surely, who I am today is because of Ruben Centre," said Margaret Kariuki.
