How far along are you?:
We at consulting and researching on the project concepts while organizing a formidable team.
Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you’re making?:
Remittances are funds transferred from migrants to their home countries. The issue of remittances remain central on the agenda of leaders, governments and policy makers across the world. One in seven people across the world or about one billion people are involved with remittances either by sending or receiving them. Migrant workers send on average $200 or $300 to their home in every one or two months which represents 15% of what they earn. The funds sent by migrants constitute 60% of a household income and represents a lifeline for millions of families according to the World Bank.
Remittances sent by migrants help to generate income, employment and transform economies especially in rural areas. According to the UN, remittance can help achieve SDGs goals of No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education, Clean Water and Sanitation, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Reduced Inequality.
The UN estimates that remittances are a private source of capital that’s over three times the amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) combined. In 2018, developing countries received $529 billion from $689 billion sent by 200 million migrant workers. The amount sent by international migrant workers to their recipient developing countries is expected to upsurge from $550 billion in 2019 an increase of $20 billion from 2018 according to IFAD.
Between 2015 and 2030 according to the World Bank, an estimated $8.5 trillion will be transferred by migrants to developing countries. Globally, it is estimated that remittances flows to rural areas will reach $1 trillion in the next five years. Throughout the course of 2020, mobile remittances in particular increased by 65% to $1.2 billion. Also, more than 70 countries rely on remittances for more than 4% of their GDP. Irrespective of remittances providing essential support, international money transfers tend to be costly. Also, currency conversions and fees amount to 7 per cent of the total amount sent according to the UN. Therefore, it is pertinent to design a method or technology that will reduce the transactional costs of migrant remittances to make remittances more impactful rather than a burden.
What’s new about what you’re making? What substitutes do people resort to because it doesn’t exist yet (or they don’t know about it)?:
The substitues that people tend to use currently for remittances are the banks or through applications such as World Remit , Western Union or MoneyGram. The novelty of project is that first it is a token. With the token , users will be able to provive funds as remittances to others at a lower cost and safer and instantly where it will help to prevent theft and fraud that exist with the use of the traditional methods of sending remittances where people could steal the codes and identity of others to receive funds.
