The Sports and Recreation department takes this chance and opportunity to humbly thank our students who represented us in various sports and clubs’ activities during competitions and tournaments against other universities. This has printed a good picture for our university. Our name is now flourishing outside there due to their commitment, patriotism, and dedication for spreading the good gospel of Africa International University. May the lord grant them favor to continue exercising the same talent for Africa International University.
Our students have been exposed to interact with other university students, hence building good networks. Most of them have gained coaching skills in conducting trainings as it is evidenced during Culture Week events. Those skills gained have been essential to their career hence giving them an advantage to the world.
The University Management gave our students the chance to develop holistically. The opportunity given has built their professionalism and has nurtured them to be better people in the world. In the process of participating in university competitions, they have been acquiring certificates that make them exceptional hence they have been easily securing jobs due to those additional sports certificates.
Below is the current performance of our sports and recreation activities for the Kenya Universities Sports Federation and Kenya Performing Arts Association.
