Learning About Diaspora Support Services For Kenyans

By Essie Osborn


The vastly growing number of Kenyans abroad has spawned the need for a variety of diaspora support services for Kenyans. From the settler to the immigrant worker, the diversity of the diaspora can only be matched by the varied services required by these communities. Fortunately such activities have in last decade increased rapidly to meet the growing demands.

Diaspora has been described as a collection of people in a foreign country that share culture, origin, or homeland. These groups of people usually end up in such foreign lands due to a number of reasons, either by their own willing or by force. Most of these people often engage in creative economic activities thus getting some decent income to support their homelands.

Most of these areas have different environmental conditions that call for different reactions. This kind of diversity makes it possible to come up with solutions to various kinds of challenges in such areas. Most people in the diaspora are either engaged in business or professional careers. Others also get into families thus increasing their population abroad.

For those engaged in business, family and professions, there are a number of formed organizations that serve to protect the rights of these groups of people. Some of the assistance offered by these organizations include protection and licensing of lawyers, doctors, and realtors among several other professionals. These organizations also make it their business educating the workers of their rights and any other legislative responsibilities they are supposed to be aware of.

People migrating to different countries always have a lot to take in; either major adjustments to deplorable conditions or major adjustments to better and expensive environments. Most people find their new environments a lot worse than their homes which force them adopt a totally different way of life. Either way, there is always a lot to be done to adjust to such conditions and make it better for survival.

Even though existing in deplorable conditions may be quite challenging, finding ways into the building of religions and community could help pass time thus distracting people from their conditions and healing such emotions leading to acclimatization. Such gatherings always have people who are either undergoing the same or have at one time gone through such temptations and would share experiences and encouragement to help others take heart and work harder. People are able to use such forums to discuss and interact thus strengthening their community.

Some important points to keep in mind are that a native Bank might not always provide better service and the fine print should be scrutinized to ensure a smoother relation especially as some banks might reserve the right to increase service fees from the one decided on at their whim without consulting the client. Such practices are unfortunately too common and care should be taken to avoid them.

It is true that working in foreign countries is always a great challenge especially if one does not have adequate assistance from the hosts. This should not always be the case as one can simply get in contact with the right people and get information that may help them survive such trying times. Getting information may not only benefit you but also a neighbor or a friend.
