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. Following the COVID-19 pandemic

and financial crises in countries like Lebanon hundreds have become jobless and homeless.

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.

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.

Kenya lacks return and reintegration programmes for returnees and therefore many workers return with less preparedness. For those who are forced to return without enough savings, the lack of reintegration support from the government means they return to face the same economic precarity before their migration.
