This will be an exciting, challenging and unforgettable cycling tour around the largest free standing mountain in the world. You will be part of a group of 15-20 cyclists climbing a total of 5,640m and reaching a maximum altitude of 2,107m.
As part of the ten day trip, you will also have the amazing opportunity to see our work first-hand, visiting communities where we are running child rights and economic empowerment programs.
We are challenging each cyclist to raise $4,000 and help us to create sustainable change in communities like those you will visit. To inspire your fundraising and keep you motivated in the lead up to the trip, we will support you and keep you up to date with expert training advice and regular content about our work.
OUR WORK IN TANZANIA
Since 2009, we have been collaborating with our in-country partner, ANPPCAN Tanzania, in Rombo, an area at the base of Kilimanjaro.
Vulnerable children in the Rombo district face issues such as child labour, teenage pregnancy and sexual violence against girls, which we are tackling by working to equip six communities in Rombo to run our Child Rights Program and Village Investors Program (VIP).
Along the route, you will see these programs in action and learn about the incredible impact that they are having on vulnerable children, their families and communities.
