One notable individual dedicated to revolutionizing Kenya’s agriculture sector to combat climate change and food insecurity is Mary Muthoni Wangari. A trainee lawyer and grassroots activist, Wangari is passionate about food justice, social justice, and climate action within marginalized communities in Kenya and across the continent. So, we thought we’d spotlight her as a young leader.
Wangari is a dedicated youth coordinator at Haki Nawiri Afrika, focusing on food security, agriculture, and youth empowerment. At just 24 years old, she believes everyone has a role to play in shaping Africa’s future, and so she is committed to being a catalyst for positive change in her community and beyond. Her role at Haki Nawiri Afrika equips young people with the knowledge and skills to drive meaningful change within their communities.
