Kenya: Electronic cash in Kakuma camp

The UN World Food Programme has introduced digital cash transfers in Kakuma refugee camps. The cash transfers are dubbed 'bamba chakula', or 'get your food' in Sheng, a Swahili-based slang. WFP is giving 100 Kenyan shillings (almost €1) per person every month, replacing 10 percent of the monthly share of the staple cereal, maize, wheat flour, or sorghum.
