“This is a profound honour and a proud moment,” said Mvurya. “The longstanding friendship between Kenya and France continues to flourish through such meaningful collaborations.”
The House of Coaches programme is a product of the cordial partnership between Kenya and the City of Miramas, reflecting a shared commitment to talent development, cultural exchange, and long-term investment in human capital.
