Regina Hall Instagram – My #WCW for this today is Elizabeth Wanjiru Wathuti (@lizwathuti) a Kenyan environmentalist, climate activist and founder of the Green Generation Initiative (@GGI_kenya), an organization that aims to nurture young environmental enthusiasts through practical environmental education, food forests establishment and tree growing. They have planted over 30,000 trees since 2016!
She is also a recipient of the @Wangari_Maathai Scholarship award for her outstanding passion and commitment to #environmental #conservation which dates back to her childhood (she planted her first tree when she was seven), and a 2019 Regional Finalist for Africa for the UN Young Champions of the Earth Prize 2019.
Add to that she’s an award-winning environmental blogger, and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in #EnvironmentalStudies and Community Development. All of this AND more all at the age of 23-years old! Elizabeth is a change-maker and we know this is only the beginning.
