Grace Kuto: Why Planting Trees in Africa Is Life-Sustainingd Strong
When it comes to climate change, the relationship between planting trees and cooking in Africa is a game changer.
Join us at this special meeting to learn how the non-profit Harambee Centre addresses the challenging life circumstances of women and girls in rural Africa. Grace herself was born and raised in Kenya as an orphan. In this presentation, she will address how the simple, life-sustaining action of planting trees and cooking are changing lives – and impacting climate change.
You’ll learn about:
-
The benefits of planting trees around the world
-
How to connect with the cultures and people of Africa
-
How to turn that connection into awareness, and awareness into action
Please join us to find out how you can contribute to creating a better world for women, children, and their families in rural Africa – and how that can contribute to mitigating climate change.
