Kenyans Celebrate Heroes Day as we at the Green Belt Movement celebrates the Life and Times of Prof. Wangari Maathai.

Her memories will always inspire Kenyans to strive for that which is good for the Kenyan communities. Her legacy and that of many unsung women who have contributed to the building of peace and harmony in Kenya and to the development of Kenya cannot be over emphasized.

Her Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Maathai said, “I would like to call on young people to commit themselves to activities that contribute toward achieving their long-term dreams. You are a gift to your communities and indeed the world. You are the hope and our future.”

Long live our heroines!
