Our hearts over here are bursting with gratitude.
You all have poured so much love into our now-69 students who have been able to join our program.
It’s the end of their school year and I’m heading over to join them for two Family Gatherings – one in the city of Arusha and the other in the city of Moshi. Most of our families live in small villages close to one or the other. The children will bring their report cards, eat a delicious hot meal, and receive holiday peppermint candies and chewing gum. Some will be brave enough to give us a video message to thank you for your support.
Frankly, I feel so much MORE than grateful. I’ll hug them, listen to their stories, congratulate them, and laugh with them. It’s the greatest Christmas gift I could ask for.
From all of us at the Foundation, we wish you a wonderful holiday season filled with more blessings than you can count. And look for plenty of pictures when I return!
Are YOU Inspired to Climb?
Amy is returning in September 2025, to raise awareness and funds for Kilimanjaro Kidz. There are still a few spaces open for the CLIMB and then the adventure continues with visits to one of our families and one of the parents’ businesses. Visit Beyond Adventures: Tanzania 2025! to learn more about this bucket-list opportunity!
Who’s Next?
If you haven’t yet sponsored and would like to, or you are a sponsor and want to give an extra one-time contribution, please visit the How You Can Help page and donate today! Our students, who range in age from 4 to 19, are so grateful for having their education secured, and removing a huge burden from their family’s daily concerns.
$900 per year, just $75/month, covers not only the tuition for the year, but also health insurance, school supplies, uniforms, books, transportation to and from school, and two meals each school day. If you want to help, but don’t feel that amount is achievable right now, we’ve ADDED OPTIONS for partial sponsorships for as little as $25 per month. And we continue to welcome one-time donations in ANY amount, as they contribute to the whole of what we do.
