Dash-8's in retirement

I see yet another airline has been created in Africa using yet more Dash-8's presumably after they have been phased-out by "1st world" operators. In Kenya alone there are something like 5 small and recent operators, all operating Dash-8s and most operating nothing else. Does anyone know what these sort of a/c cost to buy and run? How is it possible for them to be safely run at a profit when presumably they were phased-out by their previous owners on sound financial grounds?
