Who We Are
We are Africans in Japan
AFAM was established in 2002 with the aim of promoting social interaction between the Africans in the Miyagi Prefecture and the Japanese community. It is the only registered African association in Miyagi that is fully recognized by all relevant bodies dealing with Africans in Miyagi. We organize events and activities which promote African values and culture through performances and service work in the local community.

Expo International Exchange Program
This initiative is part of the Expo International Exchange Program, which is being implemented by the Japanese Cabinet Secretariat from fiscal year 2024 to 2025. The program, in conjunction with the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, aims to foster continuous international exchange between local residents and participants from Expo countries. The program’s objectives are to promote mutual understanding between Japan and participating nations, address regional issues, and invigorate cultural exchanges through initiatives such as the collaboration between Rifu Town and the African Association of Miyagi (AFAM).
