Kenya has had the proud and longstanding privilege and tradition of harboring hard working citizens whose relentless pursuits in search of excellence often leads them to foreign shores. This has resulted in the coming up of many people abroad and resulting in specific diaspora support services for Kenyans.
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.
These activities are multi-faceted as in they serve a multitude of needs ranging from extending social support and giving voice to the minority in a particular professional niche to more pragmatic issues of legal aspects of the profession. In the case of immigrant workers especially these organizations help them be aware of their rights and the desired sphere of actions to avoid discord with the government of the country of residence. In case of settled professionals with citizenship the organization helps them re-connect with their homeland and in some cases even come up with ways to help the native country as most if not all immigrations are to a more developed country.
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.
Such a long-term transition is also stressful for the families as the home environment is all they are used to and many times if not always the new country has a completely different way of life. The stark contrast is perhaps most apparent to and in the elderly, as the older you grow the more set in your ways you become.
Another important service that merits discussion is the Banking activities, as seen in many cases, only an individual goes to work abroad leaving behind their families. This apart from the obvious pain that it causes the human psyche also raises the practical problem of sending money back home. And as is the case with all matters of money, so is this service rife with fraudulence and dishonesty making a choice difficult.
These immigrants live in different areas with different needs, and so, people experiencing the same issues should be able to get assistance for their specific locality. There are a lot of resources in the internet that can be checked and right ones contacted. Various organizations have websites and they can be reached for assistance with funds or advice.
The human being is a social animal and the need to be part of a group and be accepted is a universal need and demand. Such is reflected in the desire of diaspora to congregate and share and services such as these are of immense value to the individual and society at large.
