This is not the first time Princess Lamia’s philanthropic dedication has been internationally and regionally recognised. In 2017, she was awarded the ‘Achievement in Philanthropies Award’ at the Arab Women of the Year ceremony, as well as the first ever ‘Change Maker Award’ at the Aid & Trade Conference in London.
In May 2019, Her Royal Highness was appointed as the very first UNICEF Generation Unlimited Champion from the Middle East. The appointment also earned her the title of being the world’s first non-governmental appointee to take on the respected role.
