Everything You Need to Know About the Kenya Diaspora Welfare Association (KWA) and Our Insurance Covers — The Diaspora Medical Insurance Cover & Diaspora Group Life Expense (GLE)

The Kenya Diaspora Welfare Association (KWA) is the welfare arm of the Kenya Diaspora Alliance (KDA) created to provide sustainable, affordable, and dignified welfare solutions for Kenyans abroad and their families at home. KWA addresses common diaspora challenges such as medical emergencies, last expense (funeral) costs, and family welfare needs by offering structured, reliable insurance and financial protection programs.

KWA was formed after years of seeing diaspora members and families constantly fundraising for emergencies particularly medical and funeral expenses. The goal was to provide a long-term, affordable system of protection, ensuring financial stability, dignity, and peace of mind for all Kenyans globally.

KWA partners with trusted and licensed insurance companies to deliver its welfare programs:
  • Kenbright Insurance Brokers - Coordinates and manages KWAs insurance programs
  • BUPA Global Provides international (global) medical coverage for diaspora members
  • Jubilee Health Insurance - Provides local (Kenya) medical coverage for families back home
