Campaign Story
The Grant Thornton Kenya team is committed to climbing Mt. Kenya on August 29 to September 1, 2018 in order to raise USD 50,000 to support our education initiatives in Kenya.
On 15 September 2017, the Grant Thornton team in Kenya demonstrated our commitment to making a real difference in our communities. We committed to raise KSh 5 million (USD 50,000) to scale up our education initiatives by climbing Mt. Kenya in 2018.
We are doing this in partnership with Amara Charitable Trust (amaratrust.org). 50 volunteers from our offices in Africa and Middle East will raise KSh 100,000 (USD 1,000) each for this initiative.
The funds raised will be used to build a dormitory at Katani DEB Secondary School in Mavoko Constituency, Machakos County, Kenya with the support of the Amara Charitable Trust. The Amara Charitable Trust is our implementing partner in constructing this school. They have a strong track record in this as it is their main occupation. We also have an environmental angle where we will engage Kenya Wildlife Service in cleaning up Mt. Kenya as we climb.
Grant Thornton’s social responsibility team is ready to make this a success and calls upon you to support this initiative by making a donation of any amount.
