Campaign Story
Violet and David Whiting are going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in August 2016 with the Climb4Girls group. This group is raising money for a project called "Jali" which is run by an NGO in Tanzania called TAI. We are paying for the climb ourselves, and any money that we raise through this site will go straight to this project.
"Jali" is a Swahili word that means "care" and the project aims to help girls in secondary schools in rural Tanzania to complete their schooling. You can find out more about the project here.
Thank you for considering supporting this cause. We will be grateful for any amount you can give.

If I can't use this page then I'll try to post updates to my twitter account
