Hilda Mwangi left Kenya expecting to build a career at sea. Four years later, she is in Bucharest, making croissants, cinnamon rolls and fruit pastries in a small bakery.
She is among an increasing number of Kenyans trooping to Romania, attracted by its relatively ease of access and high labour demand, with employers recruiting foreign workers for jobs ranging from hospitality and caregiving to logistics, and food production.
