Kulea Maumbile/ Kutunza Maumbile

Nurturing in Swahili is Kulea or Kutunza meaning to care for and encourage the growth or development of something or someone. Other colleagues may suggest this to be Malezi but I think given the context of the given sentence the nurture verb of lea/ kulea takes more play than the nurture noun of malezi.

Nature in Swahili is Maumbile meaning the phenomena of the physical world, the natural world our beloved mother earth. Other colleagues may want to refer to nature as Asili or Ulimwengu or Desturi or Mazingira and I believe all these are correct depending with the context!
Example sentence:

Kulea maumbile ni jambo ambalo limewashinda wengi.

Aliishinda tuzo hiyo ya kipekee na kutajika kwa kuweza kulea maumbile kwa njia ya kipekee.

agree Muthami : nadhani 'kukuza' ni afadhali kuliko kulea. This is because kulea suggests something you are bringing up. I respect Mpasua

agree VINCENT OKANGI : Nadhani kutunza maumbile ni bora kwani neno kutunza linaashiria kulinda and kusaidia kukua ili kuendelea kunawiri
