. . . and help save a child's life!

A non-refundable deposit of $250 per person is established for the Kilimanjaro climb. This is due at time of registration and is made payable to AFCA.

Each climber must raise a minimum of $8,000 in order to participate in this event. This cost covers transportation to lodging; lodging; food while on the event; guides (not tips); water; snacks; and a $5,000 donation to AFCA’s work in Sub-Saharan Africa. Not included are: passport, visas, shots, alcoholic beverages, tips, laundry, and souvenirs. See itinerary for what all is included.

If a participant cancels their trip, they forfeit their $250 registration fee. Individuals or businesses that provided funding will need to contact us in writing if they want to receive a refund on their donation. They have thirty days from the date of cancellation in order to do so. Whatever is left over in a participant’s fundraising account will be dispersed to the rest of the team members to help them reach their own goals, after outstanding expenses are covered (guides, etc).

On occasion, corporate sponsors will gift climbers with gear for their climb. If a climber receives such an item and then drops out of the team due to not raising their required funds or for personal reasons, the participant must reimburse the sponsor for said gift or return it to AFCA if it is in intact shape.

A climber has three cut-off dates in which to meet specific fundraising goals:
