KinTrack
A humanitarian casework tool that helps NGOs and family reunification groups maintain verified records of displaced minors, with privacy-preserving matching so families can be reunited across borders.
NGO caseworkers and family-reunion volunteers working on displaced-children cases
- Secure intake forms for children (photo, fingerprints of family contact, last known location) that work offline in field conditions
- Privacy-preserving matching against existing missing-persons databases using hashing
- Case timeline exportable for court submissions to bodies like the ICC
- Multilingual interface including Ukrainian, Russian, Korean, and English
UN resolutions and ICC warrants are actively pursuing accountability for the displacement of Ukrainian children to North Korea; the casework tooling for that effort is outdated and fragmented.
Real problem (Ukraine confirms 19,500+ child abductions, ICC warrants active), but only ~2 documented cases of children sent to North Korea — the cited 'why now' is overstated; Google Trends source is for an unrelated query.Kyiv counts 19,500 abductions from occupied zones ↗Child abductions in the Russo-Ukrainian war ↗
Market is dominated by Primero (open-source, UNICEF-backed, free, non-commercial) and its CPIMS+ module, which already provides child protection case management AND family tracing and reunification — the exact features claimed.Primero information management system | UNICEF Digital Impact ↗The CPIMS+ ↗
Primero operates on a cost-recovery / not-for-profit model and is free to use; competing paid SaaS against free, UNICEF-endorsed tools in tight NGO budgets is very difficult.Primero Pricing ↗What are the costs for the CPIMS+ Roll Out? ↗
Active war and ICC accountability efforts sustain near-term need, but demand will fade if conflict ends; broader refugee/reunification category is durable but already well-served.
Privacy-preserving cross-border matching is technically non-trivial (federated identity, GDPR/minor-data compliance, security audits); requires deep NGO and government trust that existing incumbents already hold.
