The Hummingbird Leadership Project (HBLP): The goal of HBLP is to build the character and personal leadership capacity of children through schools using the lessons of the life and work of Professor Wangari Maathai. This school-based project is developing a curriculum that educates, empowers, and engages children to grow into actively responsible citizens. The HBLP uses a blended approach anchored around five core character traits (values) that exemplify the life and work of Prof Wangari Maathai: Courage, Resilience, Integrity, Service to others and Compassion and backed by social emotional learning theory and practice. The Foundation in partnership with other organisations is piloting a curriculum across Kenya.
