In September 2016 the unravelled John Garang Humanitarian Group Foundation Kenya’s spirit of adventure, forming the first ever Kilikiddos campaign “Step by step on Kibo we improve care to a kiddo”- that’s the slogan that saw 20 climbers march up Mt. Kilimanjaro! Through the support of several corporate partners and friends of John Garang Humanitarian Group Foundation Kenya, the project raised KES 3.2M (approximately USD 32,000). The 2016 climb came on the heels of the 2015 climb that saw Kes 4.2 M raised. These funds were channelled towards the Marsabit Resource Centre project kitty, which further strives to raise KES 34M to put up a Resource Centre for the Marsabit community.

Will you join us in next fundraiser that will bring us closer to their target? This year we invite you to join the Kilikiddos 2017–3rd edition climb up Mt Kilimanjaro in October 2017, in strong support of the #kilikiddos2017 campaign to raise KES 10M.‬‬‬‬‬Once the project is complete, the Resource Centre will provide access to quality and affordable health care, whilst enabling many youth to access various holistic training programmes contributing to mould them to productive members of society. The Centre will also serve as a melting pot for various communities to converge and enhance cohesiveness through various initiatives.

On the slopes of Kibo is where the highest point ‘Uhuru’ at 5,895m.The Machame route is the most scenic route on the mountain circling halfway around Kibo with great views from all angles. This route is approximately 40km comprising of strolls and every day hikes through the montane forest, the moorland, across the semi-desert, as well as the alpine desert finally leading to point ‘Uhuru’, the ice-capped summit through the unforgiving rocky screes!
