Kenyan Lady Emotional Farewell in Lebanon Captivates Hearts

A Kenyan woman employed in Lebanon has become an internet sensation after a heartwarming farewell at the airport with the children she cared for.

Rosie's departure prompted the family to gather and give her a heartfelt send-off. Maria and Cataleya, two of the children, found it difficult to accept her departure and clung to her tightly. Despite their parents' reassurances that Rosie would come back, the two children remained inconsolable. Moved by the passionate scene, Rosie was overcome with emotion and began to cry.

The heartwarming video has quickly gone viral, resonating with countless online users who are accustomed to hearing stories of adversity faced by Kenyan domestic workers in the Middle East. As the video continues circulating, many people have reached out to Rosie, seeking to establish a connection with her and potentially bring further positivity into her life. Many commend her unwavering commitment to her work and her remarkable ability to forge deep bonds with both her employers and the children under her care.

In October, the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) joined forces with various organizations to form a partnership aimed at enhancing employment prospects for Kenyan citizens in Lebanon. As part of this collaboration, the KNCCI has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Kenya Association of Private Employment Agencies (Kapea) and the Association of Skilled Migrant Agencies of Kenya (Asmak). As part of this agreement, Asmak and Kapea, in collaboration with KNCCI, have successfully negotiated job placements in Lebanon through the Syndicate of the Owners of Recruitment Agencies in Lebanon, which represents Lebanese companies.
