Live project tracking dashboard—see every brick laid with recipient updates.
Diaspora Nigerians' remittances intended for specific family projects like home construction are frequently misused by relatives for other needs, resulting in stalled projects, financial losses, and broken family ties.
Diaspora senders get a shared dashboard for real-time project photos, videos, and progress logs from recipients. Automated reminders ensure updates; stalled projects flagged for intervention. Restores visibility and accountability without holding funds.
