A sponsor (kafeel) is a person or a company that brings workers to Kuwait. In the case where one is fired, they lose their sponsor and therefore have no grounds to stay in the country, and are therefore forced to leave.

Often, aspiring workers are left with no choice but to buy a residency from a residency trader. This disrupts the economy, breaks the cycle, and allows all types of people into our society - not to mention illegal.

Although it is illegal, the system encourages it, therefore we aim to amend this system.
