Millions of people worldwide receive #remittances - the flows of money that migrants, including refugees, send to relatives back home.
The costs of sending these life-changing finances remains too high.
As we mark Int. Day of #FamilyRemittances, the cost must come down.
In times of crisis, the money migrants send home is a lifeline for millions of families around the world.
For Victor Ciolacu in Moldova, remittances enabled him expand his honeymaking business.
