On 27th October 2025, a delegation of members of the Young African Women Congress (YAWC) paid a courtesy call on H.E. the High Commissioner, Amb. Janet Mwawasi Oben. The delegation was led by Hon. Rael Chebichii Lelei, Commissioner, Nairobi Rivers Commission and Mr. Daniel Osei Tuffuor, Executive Chairperson, YAWC Foundation. The delegation was in Rwanda for the YAWC 2025 Annual Global Convocation from 26th to 30th October 2025. Hon. Lelei briefed the High Commissioner of this year’s congress which was themed, “Empower Her: Shaping the Digital Economy through Women’s Leadership”. She also invited the High Commissioner to grace their gala night as the guest speaker on 29th October 2025.

As we mark this year’s Mashujaa Day, we do so with hearts that are both proud and heavy. Proud, because we celebrate the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of our heroes and heroines — men and women who selflessly fought for the freedom, dignity, and progress of our beloved nation. Heavy, because this year, Kenya mourns. We mourn the loss of one of our own — a true son of the soil whose legacy and service to our nation will forever be etched in our hearts.

Even in mourning, we are reminded that the spirit of ushujaa endures. It lives in every Kenyan who stands for justice, unity, and peace; in every citizen who lifts others, and in every leader who serves with integrity and compassion.

The Kenya High Commission in Rwanda joins all Kenyans across the globe in honoring our past heroes and celebrating the everyday heroes who continue to build our nation.
May we find strength in their example, unity in our shared grief, and hope in the future they dreamed of.

Happy Mashujaa Day.
May God bless Kenya. 🇰🇪
