Former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta on Monday joined family, friends, and admirers of Shujaa Muthoni Likimani at Zereniti House, RedHill, Limuru, to celebrate the iconic pioneer’s centennial milestone.
The event, held on Mashujaa Day, brought together distinguished guests, including members of the clergy, professionals, and community leaders, to honor Muthoni Likimani’s remarkable contributions to education, broadcasting, literature, and women’s empowerment in Kenya.
In her remarks, Mrs. Kenyatta praised Shujaa Likimani as a trailblazer and national treasure whose life and work continue to inspire generations of women across Kenya. She lauded her unwavering commitment to uplifting communities and championing the voice of women at a time when few dared to do so.
Muthoni Likimani; an educator, author, broadcaster, and mentor has dedicated her century-long journey to nurturing young minds and advancing gender equality. Her life’s story stands as a testament to resilience, service, and the power of purpose-driven leadership.
The centennial celebration served not only as a birthday tribute but also as a reflection on Likimani’s enduring legacy; a legacy that continues to shape Kenya’s cultural, educational, and social landscape.
