Youth Ambassador Robinson M. West Receives Sir Clyde Rivers Youth Empowerment Award in Kenya for Playground Initiative

NAIROBI CITY, GREENSPAN, KENYA, July 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Youth Ambassador Robinson M. West from the United States has received the prestigious Global iChange Nations™ Sir Clyde Rivers Youth Empowerment Award for his exceptional efforts in empowering young people in Kenya. The award was presented to West during a ceremony at the Trademark Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, on Friday, July 17, 2025.

West, who has been working tirelessly to improve the lives of children in Kenya, launched a playground initiative in Nunguni Village. This four-year project involved buying land, building stairs, installing a retaining wall, and providing equipment for the children to play on. The initiative has brought joy and happiness to the children of Nunguni Village, who previously had no safe place to play.

What makes West's achievement even more impressive is that he raised the necessary funds for the playground initiative through various fundraising efforts and with the support of international donors. His dedication and determination to positively impact the lives of children in Kenya have not gone unnoticed, and the iChange Nations™ Sir Clyde Rivers Youth Empowerment Award reflects his tireless work and unwavering commitment.

“I am honored and humbled to receive the iChange Nations™ Sir Clyde Rivers Youth Empowerment Award. This award isn't just for me but for all the children of Nunguni Village who now have a safe and enjoyable place to play. I am thankful to all the donors and supporters who helped make this project possible, and I hope to continue making a positive difference in the lives of children across Kenya and around the world. I am grateful for my mother and father’s support and guidance as I worked through the challenges of this project," said West during a post-award interview.
