Remembering Wangari at 81. Her legacy lives on

Today, Professor Wangari Maathai would be turning 81. This marks the end of the wangari@80 campaign, launched by the Wangari Maathai Foundation and the Green Belt Movement International.

CHANGING LIVES

Professor Wangari Maathai espoused the idea of the Power of One—that every one of us can make a difference and collectively, we are a force. “It doesn’t take a lot of people for real change to happen. At a time when so much seems to be going wrong, it is very easy to get overwhelmed. You don’t need an “army” of people. Each of us can be agents of change.” The Wangari Maathai Foundation aims to activate the power of one through our programs.

Exemplifying making a difference regardless of your situation or resources. The Foundation is dedicated to keeping this vital legacy alive.
