“We have planted over 30 million trees that provide
fuel, food, shelter, and income to support their
children’s education and household needs. The activity
also creates employment and improves soils.”
—Wangari Maathai
Maathai continued to
speak out. She encouraged
all Kenyans to be proud of
their country and protect
its environment. She spoke
directly to the women of
Kenya. She asked them
to become leaders in their
communities and protect the
land. She said they should
stand up against injustice
and work to make Kenya a
better place.
