Lilian Marselian Kway

My name is Lilian Kway, and I am a nutritionist, food scientist, and advocate for gender equality in education. I recently participated in two influential Japan-related programs: The International Students Summit at Tokyo University of Agriculture in August 2024, and the Tenkai online course, Japanese Food Systems for Food and Nutrition Improvement in Africa, from November 2023 to March 2024. Both experiences greatly broadened my understanding of sustainable food practices and nutrition improvement.

Inspired by these programs, I now apply this knowledge in my community through workshops that promote sustainable agriculture to enhance food security, particularly for women and young girls. These initiatives enable me to address critical nutrition and education needs, empowering community members with practical knowledge for healthier living. Moving forward, I plan to deepen my expertise and develop further initiatives that leverage sustainable food practices, with the aim of creating lasting, positive change in African food systems.
