Catherine Nanjekho

Catherine Nanjekho is an educationist,  migration and integration consultant based in Leipzig, Germany. She is  the lead voice behind Kenyan-German Links. She brings a rare combination of on-the-ground experience on both sides of the Kenya–Germany corridor. Before relocating to Germany, Catherine operated Nairobi Nanny - a job placement agency in Nairobi. She also served as Head of the Language and Examination Department in one of Kenya's foremost German language and cultural institute . While there, she guided hundreds of Kenyans through the language certification pathways that are a prerequisite for working and studying in Germany. Her deep familiarity with the German language, culture and  system, gives her an authoritative understanding of one of the most common barriers Kenyan professionals face when pursuing opportunities abroad. Now based in Leipzig, Catherine draws on her lived experience as a Kenyan navigating German bureaucracy, the immigration system, and daily life in Germany to produce guides that are accurate, practical, and grounded in reality — not theory. She has closely followed the development of the 2024 Kenya–Germany Comprehensive Migration and Mobility Partnership and writes with direct insight into what its provisions mean for Kenyan professionals considering the move.
