The cause
"I wanted to do something for a charity that somehow helped people in Africa. This, coupled with the fact that I like mad challenges led me to sign up for the Challenge". Adela Hussain - Kilimanjaro Challenge Trekker
VSO’s is a leading development charity with almost 2,000 skilled professionals currently working in some of the world's poorest countries. Our approach to volunteering has changed dramatically over the years. We no longer send school-leavers - today the average age of a volunteer is 40 and most placements are for two years.
The money raised by you and your team mates will be specifically supporting VSO's work in East Africa. This section provides a brief overview about VSO's work, and examples of the type of work that you will be supporting. Please also explore our website for more information.
