:: Eddah Kaguthi's environmental passion
20 November 2006

She reminds me of Eddah. Not as pretty though

Have been watching this climate conference going on at Gigiri with some interest. The conference is rather important if those delegates can come to some agreements to make our consumption of the world resources better. The funny thing is that as Wangari Maathai was launching her 1 billion trees campaign, the person that came to mind was good pal Eddah Kaguthi.

I met Eddah Kaguthi in college and here I came to learn of two of her passions - the environment and United Kisumu a.k.a UK. Even as she did International relations, she concentrated more with the environmental part of the degree and went to on Kenyatta University to master in it.

The last few years her passions for Kisumu and the environment have come to the fore. She is based in Kisumu and works for the Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP). Now that is what is called passion. Working in a city one loves on a vital part of Kenya's make up as a country. We all know Lake Victoria feeds Kenya. And Eddah is part of the programme that at the forefront of the ensuring that the lake is being properly utilised.

If Wangari Maathai doesn’t convince you to plant that tree, think of Eddah... and pick up that seedling.
