Find Out More About Diaspora Support Services For Kenyans

By Susan Schmidt


People from different walks of life and caliber have migrated to different part of the world in search of better lives which they cannot find in their motherlands. Kenya is among the countries whereby its citizens migrate from various corner of the world and with their effort they get to support Kenya in various ways. Going out of their country is never easy and having agencies that offer diaspora support services for Kenyans is indispensable.

Looking for a better life is one of the factors that can cause immigration since better pay makes life smoother; another factor is travelling for leisure and looking for better education facilities abroad. These citizens bring forth loads of cash which are used to build the countrys economic growth. These cash is in foreign form which is later exchanged to the local currency and makes it gains value.

Different sectors are revived when the foreign currency enter the Kenyan soil; to mention but a few we have, agriculture which is the backbone of Kenyas economy, real estate the current sector which have grown more than any other sector in the recent years and many other sectors. Revival of these sectors has a positive impact to the country since people gets jobs directly or indirectly through them. The citizens who have specialized into these fields easily get absorbed by the firms which engage into them.

Let us have a good look into these sectors starting with agriculture. Citizens from abroad send cash which is used to refine these products into fine products, looking for better market and taking these finished products to consumers who require them in both international and regional markets. Experts who are into these fields gets absorbed in their different professions like agricultural officers who guide the farmers on better farming methods and different agro chemicals to apply on their crops; farm workers who help in taking good care of the crops and finally suppliers of agro chemicals.

Real estate is another sector that is highly boosted when foreign cash is destined to the Kenyan soil. Having been one of the sectors that have a very fast growth rate, it has greatly opened up job opportunities for the common citizen who was jobless and several other specialists. Architects, electricians, interior designers, suppliers of building materials and others get employed directly into this field; countrys tax increase since the rate of which money circulate is high.

Banks and companies which help to channel foreign cash are not left out in the process, they record huge profits when the money is sent through them and exchanged from international to local currency. The economy is greatly escalated to greater heights through these banks and companies. The profits recorded increase the rate of which the government collect their income tax which is used to build hospitals, roads and so on.

Companies which provide legal advice in matters of finance and legal affairs also benefit from this Diaspora support. They help their clients on technical and financial know-how of rolling out their businesses. Through them the companies get cash which is later taxed and used in national developments.

Diaspora support services have moved Kenya to greater heights of economic growth. Everyone who has specialized in different fields has benefited either directly or indirectly. This is evidently a move that has brought fourth more good than harm as there are always critics who discourage immigration claiming that it robs the motherland the skills and expertise it needs to grow and develop.
