ATLANTA, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The challenge
to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro calls people from around the world.
Though few will ever reach the 19,341 Uhuru
Peak summit, the non-profit UboraTZ wants to make the
adventure of climbing the tallest freestanding mountain in the
world accessible to all with a virtual event in February,
2021…Climb Kili.
All proceeds raised from Climb Kili benefit UboraTZ, a nonprofit
organization serving a community of people in Tanzania, once severely impoverished, who live
in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
People can participate in Climb Kili from anywhere in the
world. Climbers have the month of February to climb, walk or
run one of three virtual routes up Kilimanjaro of varying levels of
challenge and difficulty. For their efforts, climbers will
receive a Climb Kili medal!
"Climb Kili is a great opportunity for families, couples and
teams to come together in search of adventure while also doing
good," said Dave Burgess, president
of UboraTZ. "Whether exploring local hiking trails, or simply
going outside and walking in your own neighborhood, we think the
challenge of climbing Kili will make February more fun, active and
meaningful."
In addition to Climb Kili medals, certificates and bragging
rights will be awarded in a number of categories, including most
money raised for UboraTZ, team spirit award, most people recruited
to participate in Climb Kili, most mileage logged during the climb,
and more.
Since 2002, Atlanta-based
UboraTZ has served a community of people living in Karansi and the
Siha District of Tanzania near
Kilimanjaro. What began as a grass roots humanitarian effort
started out of Perimeter Church in metro Atlanta has evolved to become a comprehensive
partnership of two communities—one in America, the other in
Tanzania. The successful holistic transformation of this
community is founded on Ubora's deep partnerships with local
community, faith and government leaders, all working towards
sustainable change in the areas of education, health, business, and
the community at large.
The registration fee to Climb Kili is $40 per adult and $25 for youth ages 18 and under.
