About Kenya: Welcome to Kenya

Kenya can be found in the east coast of Africa right under the horn of Africa by your atlas. Kenya is the economic hub of East Africa with an imminently bright future, the World Bank has sited the possibility of Kenya becoming an economic tiger in the not so distant future. The government recently unleashed its strategic plan to becoming an industrialized country by the year 2030. In the strategic plan, the government sites the importance of outsourcing. The government therefore has a strong commitment to seeing that outsourcing companies in Kenya get all the help that they require to grow and increase employment of the youth. It is with the same aim in mind that Daproim Africa was founded; to create employment for Kenyan youth.

Daproim Africa is situated in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. Kenya’s economic position in Africa is very dominant, our main resource is human resource rather than natural resources. Kenya has high technologic infiltration, practices a free market system and a stable democratic political system. Our economy is poised for growth as the economy has largely been de-linked from politics. A case worth emulation by other African states.

The political scene is cool and economy is booming. Year 2005 statistics show the economy grew by 5.4%, positive results for year 2006 results are expected to hedge higher than year 2005 while the economy for year 2007 is expected to grow by more than 8%. Local and international business confidence in Kenya is on an all time high this year following a research done by the Steadman Group. This is reflected through the astronomical growth of the Nairobi stock exchange (www.nse.co.ke).

Kenya is a beautiful country to visit and live in. We have many animal parks stretching all over the country.
