Toffene Kama is a highly driven and passionate individual whose not just talking about Africa’s great future with passion and enthusiasm but is also actively running an amazing tech startup called Willstream Labs. Willstream tackles the problem of migrants remitting money back home to their families in their countries of origin in Africa for specific uses. Simply, the issue is that migrants need to send money back home frequently for all sorts of things – paying for a family members medical fees, or school fees or some construction that they are carrying on back home. Well, many times all sorts of issues can arise in the process, for example, quite frequently the money sent may end up being used for a very different purpose than it was originally intended. Willstream allows the ‘remitter’ to create a ‘stream’ and allocate funds for specific services at partner businesses that then the family member can go to and use (kind of like redeeming a voucher for a service). Toffene says that Willstream is not a money transfer service, but a payment service. (via Toffene Kama: Startup Founder, Tech Entrepreneur and Passionate about Africa | Afrinnovator)
