I have always enjoyed reading or watching stories of remarkable individuals, the ordinary to the extraordinary, the impossible to the possible because it inspires me. Stories that bring us optimism, hope and courage. Sometimes, seeing is believing and when a spark is ignited within us, we learn and grow within ourselves that our ability to respond is limitless.
Wangari Maathai known as the mother of trees was responsible for planting over 50 million trees during her lifetime. With a master’s degree in biological sciences and PhD in veterinary anatomy, she was passionate about addressing Kenya’s environmental problems ranging from deforestation, water and food shortages, malnutrition in communities and the death of animals from habitat destruction.
She started the Green Belt Movement which encouraged Kenyan women to plant trees to mitigate deforestation and soil erosion. This movement went on to train over 30,000 women which also enabled them to earn a living. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.
