Golden Dreams is a Burmese-language smartphone app targeting current and prospective migrant workers. It is a platform for learning and exchanging information, reviews, ratings, comments, and advice about employers, recruiters, and service providers, in both home and destination countries. The concept is similar to Yelp or Tripadvisor, except the platform is in the Burmese language, and the key topics are those that are most relevant to migrant workers.
