LaLa World
LALA World (“LALA”) is a holistic ecosystem for the unbanked, starting with the migrants and their families back home. The ecosystem not only revolves around financial inclusion but also bringing together communities at grassroots level, solving real-life issues faced by this population by real partnerships with governments, NGO’s, local communities and integrating biometrics, blockchain and distributed ledger technology to bring everyone together.

Concept
The migrant and their unbanked families in emerging and frontier markets have been suppressed for the longest time without any access to basic services, financial or otherwise. About 2.4 billion poor people worldwide are often excluded from free movement, basic rights which often leads them to corruption, crime, including slavery, human trafficking and in extreme cases, death. Banks, financial institutions and even local financiers do not participate in these markets because they are not able to adequately assess price risks. Lack of reliable identification systems, financial data, unreliable intermediaries, zero credit history and unpredictable legal systems further limit the capital available for financial inclusion at grassroots. This uncertainty and severely limited access to financing and other financial products cripple’ individuals, micro-entrepreneurs, small businesses, stymies growth and entrenches poverty. LALA World is all set to change that.
