Diaspora University Town (DUT) has a Diaspora Kenyan relocation plan that enables any Diaspora Kenyan to apply to relocate to Kenya. The plan mirrors the factors that led Diaspora Kenyans to relocate to their current countries. The plan includes a job at the DUT project and housing. The plan requires joining DUT as a townhouse developer and investing capital to develop a house.
Joining DUT
The first step in starting relocation is to join DUT. This is done by signing a Townhouse Development document, which makes one a townhouse developer at DUT, and by investing approximately $6,000 (Ksh 750,000) in capital, as indicated in the document.
Job
DUT has launched its job-creation plans. The jobs are from diverse plans that will create about 15,000 jobs by the time the first four-year class graduates. The town plan, which includes establishing 10 departments, will create 500 jobs. The Diaspora University plan for faculty and staff will have about 1,000 jobs. The Diaspora University Hospital plan will create another 1,500 jobs for doctors, nurses, and other professionals. 300 MSMEs will create an additional 12,000 jobs across all sectors.
A Diaspora Kenyan who starts their relocation plan with DUT will, after investing, select a job and set their timeline for relocation.
Job and House
The result of the relocation plan is a Diaspora Kenyan relocating to Kenya, creating their job at DUT, and developing and owning a house at DUT. This means a $6,000 (Ksh 750,000) investment yields a job and equity in the house.
Example
A Diaspora Kenyan who uses this relocation plan could take up one of the jobs created at the Diaspora University. From the job, one will earn income that covers food, mortgage payments, and other needs.
In less than 3 years, a Diaspora Kenyan who relocates from abroad could be living in a townhouse valued at Ksh 9 million, with a mortgage balance of Ksh 6.3 million. In this case, the $6,000 (Ksh 750,000) would have grown to Ksh 2.7 million.
