German Embassy Nairobi

Today, our Deputy Ambassador Mr. Alexander Fierley welcomed Wawira Njiru, Founder and CEO of Food4Education, to the Embassy for discussions on child nutrition, education, and innovative school feeding solutions in Kenya.

What began in 2012 with meals for just 25 children has grown into a transformative initiative now delivering healthy, freshly prepared meals to over 635,000 pupils in more than 1,900 schools across 15 counties.

We invite fashion designers based in Kenya to take part in a creative design challenge celebrating the fusion of Kenyan fabrics, patterns, and design traditions with traditional German Trachten (regional attire), reimagined for today’s world.

We’re looking for 2 complete looks that thoughtfully blend both cultures, with inclusive and gender-neutral interpretations encouraged.

What’s in it for finalists?
• 10 finalists will each receive a KSh 25,000 production grant
• Showcasing at a fashion show at the German Residence during German Unity Day celebrations (Oct 2026)
• Professional coaching sessions for the 3 finalists
• Audience Choice Award: KSh 100,000 for the winner

Deadline: 22 June 2026

If you’re a designer ready to tell a cross-cultural story through fashion, this is your moment.

What if, overnight, nearly a fifth of Kenya were no longer under national control?

What if major cities, communities and livelihoods in South Africa were cut off by a foreign military occupation, and the world slowly started treating it as “normal”?

For Ukraine, this is not a hypothetical scenario. It is a daily reality.

↪️ Nearly 20% of Ukraine’s territory remains under Russian occupation. Millions of Ukrainians continue to live with displacement, destruction, and uncertainty caused by Russia’s war of aggression.

Distance should never lead to indifference.

Across Africa and Europe alike, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful resolution of disputes remain fundamental principles of international law.

That is why Germany continues to stand with Ukraine.

Because Ukraine is not only defending its own sovereignty. It is also defending the principles that help preserve peace, security, and stability around the world.

We stand with Ukraine, today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes.
