About Teresa Muthoni
My background is in community-led landscape restoration, women’s leadership, and climate resilience across Africa. I currently serve as the Africa Programs Manager at the Women’s Earth Alliance (WEA), where I lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of regional programs that strengthen women’s leadership in ecosystem restoration, climate justice, and sustainable development. In this role, I co-develop multi-year strategies, oversee monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems, mentor grassroots partners, and drive partnerships that advance environmental resilience and gender equality.
Over the past decade, I have worked with organizations such as the Green Belt Movement, the International Tree Foundation, and One Tree Planted, where I managed national and continental reforestation programs and championed gender integration in conservation.
I am also the Co-founder and Biocultural Restoration Advisor at Homegrown Sustainability Solutions, an initiative that bridges traditional knowledge and modern practices to foster regenerative, community-led restoration in Kenya and beyond.
As a Registered Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Lead Expert with advanced qualifications in project planning and environmental science, I am passionate about connecting local wisdom with global action—ensuring that women, youth, and communities remain at the heart of Africa’s regenerative future.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! You can use either of my names, but I personally love my local name more — Muthoni.
