This paper explores the impact of women's migration on the family network and kinship relation and the found success achieved by their families. Particularly, when a woman leaves her family for foreign employment, instantly gaps and challenges arrive regarding the family's security and taking care of children. In such situations, how do the family network and kinship networks operate, and with what effect? The study shows that when the woman is absent, family members fill the gaps and share the service as well as how they managed, controlled, consumed, saved, or invested remittance received as foreign earning by using their family and kinship networks. The study covered the two DS Divisions in the administrative district of Kurunegala in North Western Province in Sri Lanka and selected a random sample for collecting data. The study mainly depends on qualitative data using in-depth interviews, interviews with key informants.
