Free, open datasets for the Diaspora

Why

Useful information for the African and Caribbean diaspora is scattered, paywalled, or missing: what it costs to send money home, which businesses to back, the languages that connect us, and where you can travel and on what terms. So we gather it, keep it clean, and give it away. Every dataset here is free to browse, free to use, and kept current.
