During UGO’s first conversation with Maggie, the Founder of Dare Women’s Foundation, we asked, “what do you need?”.
Based on what Maggie and the community needed, we built a perimeter fence in 2019 on a piece of land that will become the future site for a home and community center that will support women and children dealing with domestic issues – providing a refuge, community, education and income-generating opportunities.
In 2022 we returned to Tanzania to build the foundation of the main house, and in 2024 we built an outdoor bathroom. We are currently in discussions with Maggie, the Founder of Dare Women’s foundation to confirm the project we will be working on based on what the needs of the foundation and community will be at that time.
The route we will be climbing is the 7 day Rongai Route
You don’t need to be exceptionally fit as we actually walk up the mountain very slowly, but you do need to get your body used to the particular demands of this hike that includes several hours of hiking uphill and downhill each day, and a fairly intensive summit night.
As we would like everyone to be as healthy, fit, and successful as possible while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro our program includes a 6 month Kilimanjaro specific foundational training program created by Certified Personal Trainer and Master Behaviour Change Health Coach, Janet Omstead, as well as an accountability group to help keep you on track.
If you’re unsure about your ability to climb Kilimanjaro, fill in the application and Jill will happily provide more guidance and information.
