CHARITY PROJECT:

The Kilimanjaro Initiative reaches out to the youth in Kenya and globally through sports, thus instigating behavioural reform and transforming them into agents of positive change, enabling them to positively contribute towards sustainable community development and offering them opportunities for self-development. They work with children from the age of 8 years to 16 years and youth from 17 years to 30 years.

For the past 10 years, Kilimanjaro Initiative has directly benefited over 4,000 children and youth through its programs and some partnership programs in the disfranchised communities of Kenya and Tanzania.
