Kilimanjaro is referred to as the 'The Roof of Africa,' for being the highest free standing mountain in the world; its peak being 5895 metres.

I must raise £1500 on here and a further £1000 from door to door donations and other fundraising ideas etc.

My goal is to look out across the rolling clouds, with Tanzania stretched out till the eye can see; with the achievement of a seven day trek scaling down the mountain beneath me. This achievement will have raised invaluable funds and awareness for local children living in poverty. It will also provide vital education; helping to build and maintain schools. Alongside, it will benefit crucial wildlife conservation projects and safer local living conditions.

Many of the Tanzanians who work on Mount Kilimanjaro as porters, guides and cooks are often left with no option but to work in dangerous conditions to earn money for their families and survival. This sad reality can result in death.
