It is with great sadness that we learnt of Professor Wangari Maathai's passing away on 25th September, in Nairobi. Professor Maathai was a Member of the Trust's Executive Board, and served as our first Vice-Chair. We are grateful for her dedication and commitment to our cause, for which she found space in a life full of important works.
Professor Maathai's fearlessness and persistence in the face of violence, harassment and imprisonment, earned her international recognition and awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. "Every person who has ever achieved anything has been knocked down many times. But all of them picked themselves up and kept going, and that is what I have always tried to do". In doing so, she became a source of worldwide inspiration.
