“I wanted to say thank you for everything. I had the most amazing time of my life up Kilimanjaro, I want to go back and try all the different routes... You all gave us so much support and individual attention. I couldn't fault a single thing. Thank you.

“Well, keep in touch... I'm sure I'll be back to Tanzania before long ready to tackle the mountain again!”

To join us you will be required to:

1. Purchase the airfare and visa yourself.
2. Commit to fundraising £1,600 to help orphans in Kenya.

If you think you might be interested but find the prospect of raising £1,600 a bit daunting, then read on. Provided you are willing to campaign farther afield than simply family and friends, meeting the target is easier to achieve than most would imagine.

Some of our fundraisers have put together a website documenting their preparations and experiences and are hosting a forum where they would invite you to air your concerns if you are in any doubt about whether to take on this challenge.

Ally is a single mother with no background in charity work or fundraising at all. A friend in Southern Africa telephoned her with a dire family need. Burdened by this appeal, she committed three weeks to raising whatever she could to help. In this short time she raised £970!


Mrs H lives in a small country village. She organised an evening meal with a performance by a local choir. The choir sang for free, the evening was advertised and well attended, and she raised £400 after costs in one evening.
