Part of the largest cultural network in the world
The Alliance Française is a language and cultural relations organisation, created in Paris in 1883 by Louis Pasteur, Jules Verne and other humanists to teach French around the world. It has since grown into a network of more than 800 Alliances in 135 countries — the largest cultural network there is — held together by a single aim: friendship between peoples, through language and through the diversity of cultures.
The Alliance Française de Nairobi was founded in 1949. We are the only accredited institution in Kenya for international and professional French certification, and the only one officially recognised for certified translation.
Alliance Française de Nairobi
Where journeys take shape
For more than 77 years, Alliance Française de Nairobi has been a place where people come to learn, discover and connect.
Students, artists, entrepreneurs, professionals and culture enthusiasts have all walked through our doors. Different aspirations, different stories, but one thing in common: the desire to grow, explore new possibilities and become part of something bigger.
A French class can open the door to new opportunities. A cultural event can spark an idea. A conversation can lead to a collaboration. A visit to the library can inspire a new passion. That's why we believe that every meaningful journey begins with a first step.
As we continue to evolve, our ambition remains the same: to open our doors wider, to accompany the journeys of those we serve, and to create a space where people, ideas and cultures come together.
Welcome to Alliance, Your Journey Begins Here.
