Regreening Africa and The Legacy of Professor Wangari Maathai
|
Maathai, the first African woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2004, was founder of the Green Belt Movement. This movement works at reforesting Kenya, stopping soil erosion and providing firewood for families by paying poor women to plant trees. She passed away on Sep. 25.
Make a Difference Today: Donate to the Year of the Pencil Campaign On November 20th, this movement placed over 100,000 pencils into the hands of children across Sierra Leone in 20 schools. Each pencil tells a story — of hope, opportunity, and possibility. Education is more than lessons — it’s liberation. Every $25 helps children write their dreams.
