Rising for Mothers | The Kilimanjaro Maternity Climb

Rising for Mothers is about expanding access to safe, dignified maternal care in rural Tanzania.

In September 2026, our team will take on Mount Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit – a nine-day journey, covering close to 100 kilometres on foot and ascending to 5,895 metres above sea level. 

The funds raised through this climb will be used to extend the solar power system at Kamanga Health Centre, ensuring the new maternity ward can operate independently of an unreliable electricity grid. 

Power outages can last for days at a time, creating serious risks during labour, delivery, and postnatal care. Reliable solar energy means lights stay on, essential equipment continues to function, and care is not interrupted when it matters most.

Your contribution directly supports lasting, community-led healthcare impact and you become part of a journey that provides dependable care for mothers and newborns long after the climb is complete.
