Across the world, more than 280 million people live and work outside their home countries. Behind them are families who depend on what is sent home — food on the table, school fees paid, rent covered. Today, over 1 billion people rely on remittances as a lifeline for daily survival.

This reality exists across 190+ countries, cutting across borders, cultures, and industries. It is a shared human story of people working far from home for one simple reason: to support the families they love.

In this global movement of people and resources, currency exchange plays a powerful role. What may feel small or ordinary in one economy can make a meaningful difference in another. When combined with modern technology, cross-border trade and digital platforms make it possible to move value more efficiently, more fairly, and with greater reach than ever before.

Soulmade exists at this intersection — where technology, ethical trade, and global exchange come together to support those who labour far from home. By leveraging tools and systems that are easily accessible to some, we aim to create pathways that are more dignified and supportive for others.

Not as a charity, and not as a job platform — but as a replicable, ethical model that honours work, values craftsmanship, and recognises the dignity behind every effort.

These numbers remind us why Soulmade exists — and why this work matters.
