Trek4Mandela climbers prepare to summit Kilimanjaro for girls' education
Story 2
Climbers from South Africa and abroad are preparing to take on Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the annual Trek4Mandela expedition in honour of Nelson Mandela's legacy.
The initiative raises funds and awareness for the Imbumba Foundation's Caring4Girls programme, which helps tackle period poverty by providing menstrual products and health education to schoolgirls across Southern Africa.
Since its launch in 2012, the expedition has inspired hundreds of participants to turn a physical challenge into a mission that supports dignity, education and brighter futures for young girls. First time climber Ayanda Ali says she has been encouraged by the support she has received.
