The book follows Wangari from her childhood in Kenya to her return after college. Keeping with the theme of the story, the book is printed on recycled paper. WHO WE ARE | THE GREEN BELT MOVEMENT The Green Belt Movement (GBM) was founded by Professor Wangari Maathai in 1977 as an offshoot of the National Council of Women of Kenya (NCWK) to respond to the needs of rural Kenyan women who reported that their streams were drying up, their food supply was less secure, and they had to walk further and further to get firewood for fuel andfencing.
JOBS, INTERNSHIPS & VOLUNTEERING Purpose of the job: Implement GBM project that aims at Catalysing the Uptake of Improved Cook-stoves (ICS) within Kenyan’s Critical Water- Towers and thus contribute to the overall GBM integrated Watershed-Based Approach in the project area.MAINSTREAM ADVOCACY
GBM has called for, time and time again, an end to land grabbing, deforestation and corruption. GBM continues to work on a wide range of advocacy issues in Kenya, often policies in place are in direct contradiction to the efforts to preserve and protect critical forest watersheds. GBM identifies key policy issues to develop advocacycampaigns.
INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES The largest numbers of participants in the Green Belt Movement (GBM) are women and they have made tree planting an income generating activity, where GBM gives a financial compensation (US 10 cents) to nursery groups for every tree seedling that is planted and survives. THE CAMPAIGN RATIONALE The Campaign Rationale. This is a flagship national corporate tree planting campaign by NIC Bank, the Safaricom M-pesa Foundation, Radio Africa, the Royal media Services in partnership Green Belt Movement with the objective of raising the importance of the ecological values of indigenous forests, riparian areas and water towers in sustaining FOREST AND LANDSCAPE RESTORATION IN THE MAU The Green Belt Movement has partnered with Ecosia Germany in Community Empowerment and Environmental Education and Forest and Landscape Restoration work in the five -Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) and key Water Towers of (Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon, Cherangany Hills, Aberdare Ranges and Mau Complex)..

This interactive map shows the location of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement across Kenya. Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) we record the location of the tree nurseries, and monitor the progress of the trees planted to ensure high survival rates. Mapping tree-planting sites ensures that our efforts are helping to restore critical watersheds. Click on the map to zoom in and see the planting locations and information about the number of trees planted.See Where We Work

WANGARI MAATHAI'S LEGACY "EACH OF US CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND TOGETHER ACCOMPLISH WHAT MIGHTSEEM IMPOSSIBLE."
Wangari Maathai (1940–2011) was the founder of the Green Belt Movement and the Wangari Maathai Institute . Her life was a series of firsts: the first woman to gain a Ph.D. in East and Central Africa; the first female chair of a department at the University of Nairobi; and the first African woman and the first environmentalist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize (2004).
