“When as mothers and women, we take up action-oriented climate actions, right from when our babies are in the cradle, when bringing them, and under the leadership of our First Lady, I believe we will head in the right direction,” said Pastor Dorcas.
Pastor Dorcas also commended the strategic measures taken by First Lady Rachel Ruto and her team to promote eco-friendly practices and climate action in Kenya, including initiatives such as tree planting.
The First Lady hosted a summit at the KICC in Nairobi, where she was joined by counterparts from various African nations, including Burundi’s First Lady Angeline Ndayishimiye and Sierra Leone’s First Lady Fatima Maada.
The summit featured a session titled ‘Driving Green Growth and Climate Solutions for Africa,’ bringing together government officials, representatives from the private sector, human rights advocates, and community organizations from around the world.
