We are absolutely thrilled to share the news that our very own Amb. Ven. Dr. Scholar Wayua has been recognized on a continental stage! During the 2025 Peace Awards, hosted by Peace League Africa, Dr. Wayua was officially honored as the Best Interfaith Understanding and Unity Leader of the Year.

The ceremony, held under the theme “Strengthening Partnerships for Sustainable Peace in Africa,” brought together leaders and peacebuilders from across the region to celebrate those who dedicate their lives to harmony and social cohesion.

A Champion of Unity at St. Paul’s University

At St. Paul’s University, we have long witnessed Dr. Wayua’s unwavering commitment to building bridges between different faiths. Her leadership is defined by:

• Dialogue over Division: Creating safe spaces for interfaith conversations that foster mutual respect.
• Action-Oriented Peace: Implementing practical programs that translate religious teachings into community service and unity.
• Empowering the Next Generation: Mentoring students to become ambassadors of peace in their own right.

"Peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice and the active pursuit of understanding across all religious and cultural lines."

Why This Award Matters

This recognition by Peace League Africa highlights the critical role that interfaith leadership plays in the stability of our continent. By honoring Dr. Wayua, the organization acknowledges that sustainable peace in Africa requires leaders who can navigate complex religious landscapes with grace, wisdom, and a spirit of inclusion.

Join Us in Congratulating Her!

On behalf of the entire St. Paul’s University community, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Amb. Ven. Dr. Scholar Wayua. This award is a testament to your hard work, your faith, and your vision for a more united Africa.
