How can we make a coin/hardware that will go the poor, in the third world

Yeah clone Ripple, but make seven hundred billion chipples (charity ripples), one hundred billion per continent, and let each continent's council of elders or whatever (warlords? oops) figure out how to distribute them.

Well maybe how about use those field ID issuing kits, where troops take biometric measurements and issue IDs on the spot, so you can give out one coin per each different biometric profile the field officers claim is a distinct person?
