The Zuri Award
On the eve of international women day 2024, The Zuri Awards stage was filled with celebrating extraordinary women to witness their triumphs, their grace, and their unwavering spirits in the various community initiatives in their respective counties.
I am proud to be part of this amazing circle of inspiring women who's organisation is being awarded in the category of education for the One Health concept - Youth Rangers Guardians of the Forest program (collaboration with Darwin Animal Doctors) at Pwani Animal Welfare Community based organization. Over 1000 submissions, to being part of over 200 nominees and eventually being among the 15 awarded is both humbling and exciting. My sincere gratitude to the Zuri Foundation for providing a platform for nominees to showcase their community projects to the external world and creating a gender equal world by actively choosing to broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women achievements.
Zuri Awards is a platform under the Zuri Foundation in Kenya and was founded in 2017 to recognise, celebrate, and support unsung exceptional women in Kenya dedicated to creating positive change through work in their communities while inspiring others through exceptional displays of leadership, rising against all odds, and being courageous in the face of adversity./
