Fauziah Muthoni went to Qatar in search of a better life, but ended up being a slave

Despite the several terrifying stories that have been reported by Kenyans working in the Middle East, Kenyans still ignore and troop there. Why?
Most people use agents to get there and since those agents are after money, they don’t state clearly the jobs and location when recruiting. Majority get fixed into fake jobs with outrageous fake salary which always ends up to be a scam.

Is that what happened in your case?
Yes, when I applied for a secretarial job in Qatar, the agency assured me that they have legal secure jobs. My salary was to be Sh45,000. I went through the application process including paying their service charge which was Sh50,000, but upon arrival in Qatar I was told to board another flight different from where I was going. They stated that the papers I had signed were from Saudi Arabia and not Qatar.  I did not have any money to go back home, so I proceeded to Saudi Arabia. When I arrived I was told my work was a house help.
