Support with housing, visas, health insurance, adjustment issues, and practical student-life concerns when help is needed.
AFAM Student Wing exists to help African students thrive academically, socially, culturally, and personally while studying in Tohoku.
We believe that student life in Japan should not be lonely, confusing, or disconnected. Through friendship, mentorship, representation, and practical support, AFAM Student Wing helps students settle well, aim higher, and contribute positively to both African and Japanese communities.
AFAM Student Wing is more than a student group. It is a platform of belonging, support, and representation for African students who are building their future in Japan.
It gives students a place to ask questions, find encouragement, develop confidence, and create meaningful memories beyond the classroom.
From undergraduate students to masterβs and doctoral researchers, AFAM Student Wing helps connect journeys, experiences, and aspirations across the region.
Connects student wings to the central body of AFAM and supports student integration, participation, and leadership development.
AFAM Student Wing is growing as a platform for connection, support, and representation across universities in the region.
