At Project Africa, we measure our success through the lives we help transform. Here are some of the impactful milestones achieved so far:

1. Free Japanese Classes for Kenyan Students
   We successfully ran a fully-sponsored Japanese language program for 40 Kenyan students, giving them the skills and confidence to pursue careers abroad.
2. Connecting Talent with Opportunity in Japan
   Through the support of Project Africa, Kimani Geoffrey, a former student, secured employment in Japan under the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa program, opening a new chapter in his professional journey. He was the first SSW visa holder from Africa.

4. Cross-Border Support for Exams in the Philippines
   With the support of Labour Mobility Partnerships (LaMP), we assisted a student, Ruth Kabau, in traveling to the Philippines to sit for the Japanese language and skills test—an essential step in qualifying for employment in Japan.
   
5. Engaging Kenyan Government Representatives in Japan
   We introduced Japan’s key visa programs to the Kenya Embassy in Japan, ensuring government representatives were informed and engaged in the opportunities available for Kenyan youth.
6. Introducing Programs to the Government of Kenya
   We presented the visa pathways to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – State Department for Diaspora Affairs, leading to bilateral discussions between the Principal Secretary and the Ambassador of Japan to Kenya on future collaboration.
