Kirimanku Wants to Put a Reason Behind Every Remittance
A concept for a shared record that lets migrant workers and their families document what money sent home was meant to fund and what happened afterward.
Field notes
The project separates remittance movement from remittance accountability: the existing transfer continues unchanged, while the proposed layer records purpose and outcome between sender and recipient. Its examples focus on school fees, medicine, and debt, with collection sometimes requiring a long trip to a bank or agent. The page cites 2025 placement and remittance figures for Hong Kong and Taiwan, but presents the product itself as a research-stage concept rather than a functioning service.
