The Kenyans in Japan Association (KIJA) extends heartfelt congratulations to all Kenyan students graduating from universities across Japan this academic year. Their achievements, marked most recently at the ceremonies of the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and Toyo University, are a source of pride and inspiration to our entire community.

These accomplishments are a testament to the focus, resilience, and commitment of Kenyan students, and a reminder that with determination, excellence can be achieved. By excelling in diverse fields of study, our graduates continue to raise the profile of Kenya and strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation between Kenya and Japan.

KIJA takes pride in the Kenyan graduates for flying the community’s flag high within Japanese academic institutions. For those remaining in Japan, the Association looks forward to working alongside you in supporting and strengthening our community. For those returning home, KIJA is confident you will serve as ambassadors of a culture of excellence, contributing to the growth and transformation of our homeland.

To sustain this spirit of achievement and connection, KIJA is activating its Alumni Network. This platform will ensure that graduates remain engaged with the Kenyan community in Japan and back home, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and opportunities that benefit both Kenya and the diaspora.

Together, we celebrate our graduates—not only for their personal accomplishments, but also for the bridges they continue to build between Kenya and Japan.
