The intention is laudable, but this kind of business model makes me think of all these NGOs appearing in the 90s/2000s purportedly to "help poor africans" [0,1].
While many have been (trying to) do their best, it's unfortunate that many got richer on the back of the people they were supposed to help. Sometimes with local accomplices who also benefit from the grift.
I guess the main take away would be that transparency and accountability are paramount if you want to be part of such an ecosystem, especially as a middleman for money transactions.
