Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has been honoured as a protector of the Earth, a change maker and a peace builder at the We Care for Humanity Royal Summit in Las Vegas, in the United States.
According to Nyamu, the award is not only recognition for her journey in leadership but also dedication to service to the people and transformation.
“It is with humility and indeed immense gratitude that I accept this extraordinary honor the knighting of the Royal Maharlika as a protector of the Earth, a change maker and a peace builder for peace builder.
“I extend my sincere thanks to We Care for Humanity, the Royal Maharlika and the Sultanate of Magindanaw for recognizing, not just my personal journey, an enduring spirit of resilience, service and transformation that defines the people of Kenya, and particularly the people of Nairobi County, whom I proudly serve,” she said after receiving the award.
The award makes her a Knight of the Royal Maharlika, which is under the Sultanate of Magindanaw.
The Royal Sultanate of Magindanaw is a sovereign monarchy in the southern part of the Philippines.
The award comes with scholarships opportunities and startups capital which will be awarded to youths in Nairobi in partnership with various global philanthropists
The senator dedicated the award to all who strive for change with courage, no matter what might hold them back.
“It is true that I did my campaign for this position that I hold, while very pregnant, not to prove a point, but because duty demanded it. That journey has taught me that leadership is not defined by ease or comfort, but by commitment. Whether you're a parent, a student, a farmer, a public servant, know this, you can lead, you can serve, and you can do so with power and grace and purpose.”
Nyamu reiterated that the award will only strengthen her resolve to keep pushing the limits and expanding opportunities for the upcoming generations.
“To every young person in Kenya and beyond, do not shrink your dreams to fit the moment. Rise, speak, act, the world is waiting for what only you can offer.”
She thanked Queen Mariam Torres Mastura of Maharlika and We Care for Humanity for the award.
