The Wangari Maathai Foundation has finalised plans to build a commemorative house to immortalise the life, works and achievements of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
The Wangari Muta Maathai House (WMH), expected to be completed in five years, will house all her works and awards including the Nobel Peace Prize, books, iconic paintings and photos, lectures, speeches, wardrobe and the story of the “humming bird” that she so loved to recount.
