Green Belt Movement (GBM) ^{Non-governmental Organisation}

GBM Kenya was established in 1977 by Prof. Wangari Maathai, under the auspices of the National Council of Women of Kenya. Its vision is to create a society of people who consciously work for continued improvement of their environment and a greener, cleaner Kenya. While tree planting has always been the focal activity, GBM programs have expanded to include projects in indigenous tree planting, civic education, advocacy, food security, greenbelt eco-safaris and “women and change”.
