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.
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.
Our blog brings you commentary and analysis on Kenyan labour migration to the Middle East.
