About us
The Kenya-Ireland Airlift Program was founded out of the need to expose Kenyans to opportunities in Ireland as well as support those who arrive from Kenya. Ireland is the new frontier where most Kenyans are coming and therefore KIAP came in handy as an avenue for welcoming new Kenyans in Ireland as well as supporting those with the intention to relocate both as expatriates and students.
If you are a Kenyan planning to move to Ireland whether to work, study, or join your family, you might be looking for a reliable and comprehensive service that can help you navigate the complex process of relocation, connect with other members of the Kenyan community in Ireland, and provide guidance on immigration-related matters. That's where our service comes in. Overall, our service is designed to be a one-stop-shop for Kenyans moving to Ireland. We provide information, support, and community to help you make a successful transition and build a new life in your new home.
Our service is designed specifically for Kenyans who are considering moving to Ireland, and we offer a range of features to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here are some of the key sections of our service:
Relocation Information: We understand that moving to a new country can be overwhelming, so we provide detailed information and resources to help you make the transition. Our relocation information services covers a wide range of topics, from finding accommodation and schools to opening a bank account and obtaining a PPS number as well as registering for immigration on arrival. We also provide advice on cultural differences, driving in Ireland, and other aspects of day-to-day life.
Networking Activities: We believe that building a strong community is key to making a successful transition to a new country.

Message from the founders
I moved to Ireland as a Researcher in January 2020 within the covid-19 pandemic. Arriving within the middle of the pandemic exposed me to the loneliness of being in a foreign country far a way from home. Even with the challenges that I faced, I still took advantage to network and learn about this beautiful country. As I realized most of the things that posed a challenge for me to settle in were related to the lack of information on settling in Ireland and proper direction, I made it my personal initiative to create a platform for many other Kenyans arriving as expats and students to land here smoothly. Over time, I also noticed the growing interest in Irish job opportunities as well as studying and visiting Ireland among Kenyans back at home. This is why I founded this program to guide Kenyans interested in Irish opportunities as well as provide support services to those arriving in Ireland.
