On Monday, Mama Margaret Kenyatta, the former first lady, gave a motivational speech detailing her transformational leadership journey.
In New York, USA, she gave a speech at the Global First Ladies Academy Programme.
The Global First Ladies Alliance worked with Columbia Mailman School of Public Health to organize the VIP dinner event.
The programme provided space for both current and former First Ladies to establish stronger connections and engage with critical partners dedicated to promoting health and development in their respective countries.
Mama Margaret said she was deeply disturbed by the high rates of maternal and child deaths in Kenya.
She added that she felt a profound calling to advocate for mothers and children.
The commitment was solidified in her founding of the BeyondZeroKenya initiative.
The initiative, she said became a beacon of hope demonstrating how a singular, well-executed idea can have far-reaching implications.
The former First Lady’s efforts included participating in marathons to raise awareness and resources for maternal and child health.
Her determination saw her participate in the renowned London Marathon.
