Welcome to our purpose!
YES! We are climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro - the highest continental peak in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, soaring to a summit of 5,895 metres (19,341feet)! But our purpose, our passion and the propulsion driving us to the peak is the empowerment of girls.

Every day, millions of girls around the world are denied their basic human rights simply because they are girls, facing unique barriers that violate their rights and keep them from reaching their full potential. Plan International's Because I am a Girl project works to safeguard, and advance girls' rights, and offer protection, support and education for girls in need.

We are both single moms raising young girls and we want to show them that they really can be and do anything they want in the world, and how important it is to raise women up everywhere.

Your contribution will help Because I am Girl support girls to climb their mountains.

Thanks for your support!
