Kilimanjaro Challenge Tackles Period Poverty
Story 1
A group of climbers is preparing to scale Mount Kilimanjaro as part of this year’s Trek4Mandela expedition, which supports efforts to address period poverty among schoolgirls.
The annual challenge raises funds for the Imbumba Foundation’s Caring4Girls programme, which provides menstrual products and health education to learners across Southern Africa.
Since its launch in 2012, Trek4Mandela has used the climb to support girls’ access to education and dignity.
First-time participant Ayanda Ali says encouragement from fellow climbers has strengthened her preparation for the expedition.
