We are excited to celebrate a remarkable milestone for the Karen Forte Foundation, which has officially been awarded Starbrand 2025 Status by Starbrand East Africa. This prestigious recognition was presented in the Youth Mobilization and Climate Action Award category, an acknowledgment of the foundation’s unwavering commitment to inspiring young people and championing environmental stewardship across Kenya.
The award was received by Karen Kimani, whose leadership and vision continue to propel the foundation’s mission of empowering youth to take an active role in shaping a greener, more sustainable future. Her dedication to nurturing young climate advocates has sparked real change, from community-led environmental programs to youth-driven conservation initiatives.
The ceremony took place at the vibrant Sarit Centre in Westlands, Nairobi, bringing together changemakers, innovators and organizations that are shaping the future of East Africa. It was an inspiring celebration of impact and the powerful role young people play in addressing climate challenges.
This recognition reaffirms the Karen Forte Foundation’s belief that youth are not just beneficiaries of climate action but rather they are leaders, innovators and catalysts of lasting transformation. As we look ahead, the foundation remains committed to expanding its reach, amplifying youth voices and implementing projects that protect our planet for generations to come.
Congratulations to Karen Kimani and the entire Karen Forte Foundation team on this well-deserved achievement!
