Disruption in Sending Cash Home Distresses Somali Immigrants

Every year, Somalis in the U.S. send hundreds of millions of dollars back home to help their families make ends meet. But in February, the U.S. bank that handled more than half of these cash transfers to Somalia decided to shut down its services. That has left Somali communities worried for their families back home, who are now desperate for new ways to get the funds. Amy Katz narrates this report from VOA’s June Soh.
