Before IJLAPS, I was selling handmade crafts at Mama Ngina Market. Today, I work as a trade liaison between Kenyan and UAE businesses. The Arabic I learned here didn't just teach me vocabulary—it taught me how to build trust across cultures. IJLAPS didn't just change my career; it changed my entire family's trajectory.

I grew up in Kibera with big dreams but limited opportunities. IJLAPS saw potential in me when I couldn't see it myself. Their French and English interpretation program gave me the skills to stand among the world's best translators. Now I translate at UN conferences—proof that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. IJLAPS creates those opportunities.

The Japanese program at IJLAPS was my gateway to Tokyo's tech scene. But more than the language, I learned the cultural intelligence needed to succeed internationally. My startup now bridges African and Japanese tech ecosystems. The visa support team helped me navigate every hurdle. IJLAPS doesn't just teach—you they prepare you to lead globally.

After completing my teaching certification through IJLAPS, I returned to teach at one of Mombasa's top international schools. The TESOL program was rigorous, practical, and directly applicable. Now I'm training the next generation of global communicators right here in Kenya. IJLAPS gave me the tools to build my career at home while staying connected to the world.
