This is because their technical knowledge and understanding of two cultures makes us the best to identify and promote befitting bilateral initiatives for national development. KIJA recognizes the need for the Kenyan Diaspora members to actively participate in the social, cultural and economic development of their motherland and the duty the Kenyans in Diaspora owe to their future generations and the need for special and continuous efforts from all stakeholders involved in the development of Kenya.

At KIJA, Kenyans get to join together to organize productive and remarkable events like investment conferences, participate in events that represent Kenya in Japan, and around the world.
