Our Pillars
Human Trafficking
A core pillar of our mission is to bring an end to every form of human trafficking. In Kenya, human trafficking remains a pressing and complex issue—especially among domestic worker returnees. Many Kenyan women seeking employment abroad as domestic workers are often lured by the promise of better livelihoods, only to find themselves trapped in exploitative situations marked by abuse, forced labor, and modern-day slavery.
Upon return, these women face deep psychological, physical, and economic scars, and are often left without adequate support systems. Our organization works at the intersection of advocacy, reintegration, and policy reform to address the root causes and long-term consequences of trafficking. We amplify the voices of survivors, provide trauma-informed care, and push for stronger legal protections and enforcement mechanisms both at home and in destination countries.
Through partnerships, grassroots mobilization, and survivor-led initiatives, we are committed to dismantling the networks that enable trafficking and to building safer, more dignified pathways for labor migration. Ending human trafficking is not just a moral imperative—it is essential to securing justice, healing, and opportunity for Kenya’s domestic worker returnees and beyond.
Forced Labor
We are committed to ending exploitative employment practices by raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting survivors. Forced labor is a pervasive and deeply entrenched issue faced by many Kenyan domestic workers—especially those who seek employment opportunities abroad. Lured by recruitment agencies or individual brokers with promises of decent work, these workers often find themselves in conditions that strip them of their freedom, rights, and dignity.
Once in foreign countries, many are subjected to inhumane working hours, withheld wages, restricted movement, physical and psychological abuse, and the confiscation of personal documents. These conditions amount to forced labor—one of the gravest violations of human rights.
As domestic worker returnees come back home, they carry the burden of trauma, financial instability, and a lack of legal recourse. Our work centers on reintegration, rehabilitation, and economic empowerment, while also shining a light on the systems and policies that enable such exploitation. Through survivor storytelling, legal advocacy, and community education, we aim to break the cycle of forced labor and push for safer, more transparent migration channels.
Forced labor is not just a violation of labor rights—it is an assault on human dignity. We believe in a future where no Kenyan is forced to work under coercion or abuse, and every worker is treated with fairness, safety, and respect.
Modern Slavery
We are dedicated to raising awareness about the harsh and often hidden realities of modern slavery, a global crisis that continues to affect thousands of Kenyans—particularly women who migrate for domestic work. Modern slavery is not confined to chains or physical captivity; it exists in the form of forced labor, debt bondage, exploitation, and the systemic denial of basic human rights.
For many Kenyan domestic workers, the journey abroad begins with hope but quickly turns into a nightmare. Deceived by false promises of decent employment, many find themselves in situations where they are overworked, underpaid—or not paid at all—subjected to abuse, and stripped of their autonomy. Their documents are often confiscated, their movements restricted, and their pleas for help ignored. This is modern slavery in its most insidious form.
Upon returning home, these survivors face stigma, trauma, and limited economic opportunities. Our work is grounded in the belief that awareness is the first step toward change. By sharing survivor stories, engaging in public education, and influencing policy, we seek to expose the true face of modern slavery and advocate for stronger protections for migrant domestic workers.
Modern slavery thrives in silence. We are here to break that silence, support those who have survived it, and build a future where every worker is free, safe, and empowered.
Child Labor
We believe that every child deserves a childhood—free from exploitation, abuse, and forced labor. Our commitment to ending child labour is rooted in the urgent need to protect the rights and futures of the next generation. In Kenya, child labour remains a persistent issue, particularly among vulnerable communities impacted by poverty, displacement, and migration.
Among domestic worker returnees, the cycle of exploitation often extends beyond the individual. Many women who return home after surviving forced labor abroad are faced with economic hardship and social stigma. In some cases, their children are forced to drop out of school to support the family through informal or exploitative work. In other cases, children themselves are trafficked into domestic servitude—both within Kenya and across borders—mirroring the same injustices their parents experienced.
We work to break this cycle through prevention, education, and advocacy. By supporting returnees with sustainable livelihoods and reintegration services, we help reduce the economic pressures that drive families toward child labor. We also run awareness campaigns to educate communities about the dangers and illegality of child labor, and push for stronger enforcement of child protection laws.
Ending child labour is not just a legal obligation—it is a moral one. By protecting children today, we safeguard the future of our society. Together, we can build a world where all children are in school, not at work; where they are nurtured, not exploited; and where they can dream freely, not labor in silence.
Financial Literacy
Empowering domestic workers and returnees with financial knowledge is key to breaking the cycle of exploitation and poverty. Financial literacy is a vital pillar of our work—equipping individuals with the tools they need to make informed decisions, plan for the future, and build long-term economic stability.
Many Kenyan domestic workers migrate abroad in search of better opportunities, yet return home with little to no savings, despite years of labor. This is often due to a lack of financial education, exploitative working conditions, and the absence of secure channels for saving and investment. For returnees, the transition back home can be overwhelming—navigating unemployment, debt, and the pressure to support extended families without a financial safety net.
Our programs focus on building practical financial skills such as budgeting, saving, managing remittances, accessing credit responsibly, and investing in income-generating activities. We also partner with community groups and financial institutions to create access to safe and inclusive financial services tailored to the needs of domestic workers and returnees.
We believe that financial literacy is not just about numbers—it’s about freedom, choice, and empowerment. When returnees are equipped with the knowledge to manage their finances, they are better positioned to rebuild their lives, support their families, and invest in their dreams.
