I’m a 42F teacher in Germany with an almost 5-year-old child (German, Ghanaian background). We visited Nairobi in January and stayed with friends, and I haven’t been able to shake the idea of moving there.

The German school isn’t hiring my profile right now, so I’m exploring alternatives.

Looking for:

• Realistic work/visa pathways (teaching or related fields)
• Options beyond the German/international school route
• Experiences moving with a young child

What draws me to Kenya:

• High standard of life in expat areas
• Strong entrepreneurial environment
• Rich child enrichment options (especially outdoors)
• Multiple alternative schooling options incl. homeschooling
• Ethnic and religious diversity & social/cultural openness
• English widely spoken
• Nature and climate

Would appreciate any realistic advice or experiences, especially from people with kids.

Thanks!

Any advice appreciated!
