Pastor Dorcas urges women to take up climate actions

Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has urged women to get involved in climate actions for faster and more sustainable wins in the global call for action-oriented climate goals. 

She noted that women have a great influence in the upbringing of children and through their nurturing nature, they could influence generations towards a positive climate care.

She said under the guidance and leadership of First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto, women were going to achieve much in fighting climate change. 

"When as mothers and women take up action-oriented climate actions right from when our babies are in the cradle when bringing them UP and under the leadership of our First Lady. I believe we will head in the right direction," she said.

The Second Lady praised the strategic actions adopted by Rachel and her office in amplifying positive environment care and climate actions including tree planting.

Dorcas spoke on Monday during a meeting at the KICC, where Mama Rachel had hosted First Ladies from across the continent. 

Among the attendees were Burundi First Lady Angeline Ndayishimiye and Sierra Leone First Lady Fatima Maada.

The First Ladies attended a session on 'Driving Green Growth and Climate Solutions for Africa'.

The session was also graced by government officials, the private sector, human rights activists and community organisations from across the globe.
