The Marketing Society of Kenya (MSK) feted Dr. Stanley Kamau
Maina as a marketing warrior for championing the anti-jigger campaign in East
africa. Kamau is the Founder and executive Director of Ahadi Kenya Trust. The
organization was also awarded for being top in social marketing. Ahadi Kenya
has formed partnerships with over 62 corporate bodies in its fight against
jiggers. They were awarded during MSK gala night held at KWS on Friday evening.

contestants to take part in the Anti Jigger Campaign by the NGO. The visiting housemates included Danny (Ethiopia), Wendall (Zimbabwe), Zeus (Botswana), Lomwe
and Felicia (Malawi), Mumba and Kim (Zambia), Bernadina (Namibia) and
Bhoke (Tanzania).
Accepting the award, Dr. Kamau dedicated the awards to all
the corporate bodies that have been supporting them. He added that life is
about branding and encouraged everyone to stick to their brand and only do what
they are passionate about. He said that marketing plays a very big role in
raising awareness especially where no one is aware of what is happening. We do
not market Ahadi Kenya but all our activities are in line with the principals
of marketing Kamau said. He thanked MSK for recognising the role the
organisation is playing in the society.
Miss World 2005 Cecilia Mwangi and anti-jigger campaign
ambassador attributed the awards to their consistence and passion Ahadi Kenya has
done its work. She called on more corporate bodies to join in and put
anti-jigger campaign as one of their CSR activities. Ahadi Kenya has for the
last Four years received several local and international awards making it the
most awarded NGO in Kenya.
