| Wangari Mathai: 1940 - 2011 |
19 trees from the Sadili Oval Sports Academy nursery and distributed to the Girl Power Club Affiliate schools to be planted not only to conserve the environment but also to honor the life of the green belt icon the Late Wangari Maathai (1940-2011), whose efforts in championing for conservation of the environment made her the first African Woman to ever to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The activity, which was observed with the simplicity that was her life, ensured that every school out of the 8 that participated, planted at least 2 trees within their premises in an effort to
keep her legacy alive.

1. Huruma Girls High School
