Remittance Inflows from Australia to Kenya Surge 71%: A Diaspora Lifeline Fueling Growth

Kenyans in Australia are making headlines—and a real impact. In just the first quarter of 2025, they sent home $56 million, a massive 71.1% increase from the same period last year. This positions Australia as the fastest-growing source of diaspora remittances to Kenya, even as global inflows grew by only 2.2%. It's a powerful reminder that the Kenyan-Australian community is not just surviving abroad—they’re building, investing, and uplifting lives back home.
