The Diaspora Journey

Many Guineans have left their home country—whether to Europe, North America, the Middle East, or other parts of Africa—in search of employment opportunities that simply are not yet available at home. They work in everything from construction, hospitality and logistics to healthcare, education and professional roles.

These jobs abroad are more than just income-generating; they are lifelines for families back in Guinea. A sister in Conakry might expect support from her brother in Europe; a small business in Labé might exist because someone abroad invested earnings.

These jobs also carry emotional weight—being physically separated from family, juggling two lives (abroad and back home), handling cultural adaptation, and often dealing with irregular status or job instability. Yet, many persevere because the pull of home and the responsibility to family remain strong.
