Yes, go plant a tree...

The Green Belt Movement (GBM) was founded by 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Dr. Wangari Maathai


GBM provides income and sustenance to millions of people in Kenya through the planting of trees. It also conducts educational campaigns to raise awareness about women's rights, civic empowerment, and the environment throughout Kenya and Africa.

How You Can Help
There are many ways to contribute to our work. Make a donation directly to GBM. Find out more about our Green Belt Safaris. Offset your carbon footprint by planting trees (forthcoming). Or buy Wangari Maathai’s books.


It's an inspiring movement - essentially organizing women to plant trees as crops, to provide sustainability to Africa, by reducing deforestation, erosion, poor water quality issues and other forms of environmental degradation. With this comes community stewardship and a number of other things - "think globally, act locally".
