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.

and planting trees in celebrating her life included:
1. Huruma Girls High School
2. Muslim Girls High School
3. Parklands Arya Girls High School
4. Ngara Girls High School
5. Buruburu Girls High School
6. Kenya High School
7. Karen C Secondary School
