HELP KENYAN MIGRANT WORKERS

Thousands of young Kenyans working in the Middle East are women domestic workers who find themselves in exploitative conditions. We need your help to support them.

GET INVOLVED

We are a non governmental organisation

Our mission is to support the return, reintegration and advocacy of Kenyan Migrant workers in Middle Eastern countries.

There are an estimated 100,000 to 300,000

Kenyan Migrant Workers working

in the Middle East.

Many are female domestic workers contracted under the Kafala system. Kafala

enables oppressive working conditions leaving many workers vulnerable

to abuse and exploitation. Here's how we are supporting them:

RELIEF

Providing financial assistance to workers in Middle Eastern countries.

REINTEGRATION

Providing cash transfers, psychosocial and livelihood support to returnees.

ADVOCACY

Raising awareness on the rights and welfare of Kenyan migrant workers

Labour Migration in Kenya

Kenya is a major source of migrant labour for the Middle East. Over the last few years, Kenyan migrant workers have shared their experiences of abuse and exploitation at the hands of their employers & recruitment agencies. Kafala, exclusion from national labour laws and weak enforcement of laws are largely to blame.

International Women’s Day 2023: Our Reflections

31/03/2023

In our latest blog, we reflect on the efforts by migrant domestic workers to demand better for themselves. We extend our solidarity and recognise that domestic workers do not need us to be their voices but rather need more of our support and resources to advocate and organise themselves with impact.
