WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
From the WINGS archives, the late Professor Wangari Maathai interviewed about the Green Belt Movement that she founded with the National Council of Women of Kenya, which addresses problems of streams drying up, food insecurity, and a dearth of firewood and fencing, by organizing the grassroots women to plant and care for millions and millions of trees.
Wangari Maathai (1940-2011) founded the Green Belt Movement and was the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. She became politically active to save Kenya’s green space from political corruption. She authored four books.
