About this Fundraiser

Hi Everyone!

In February, 2020, I'm climbing to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa to raise awareness of the need for food for a child feeding program in Rwanda, Africa. My son and his wife have been involved with 10,000+ sponsored kids who rely on these meals every day.

Last year, my son John climbed this same mountain for Africa New Life. This truly inspired me and after lots of prayer I decided why not! I will be part of an amazing team of 11 women who will embark on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to trek up to 19,341ft. for children in Rwanda.

Our Kilimanjaro 2020 team will help raise support and awareness for Africa New Life's Food Program! With a team goal of $170,000 they will be able to provide more than 200,000 meals for kids in Rwanda.

Meet our team of 11 courageous women: Renate, Charlotte, Brooke, Judy, Char, Michelle, Jackie, Leslie, Tanna (team leader), Anne & Alisha!

Africa New Life's Food Program helps to provide school lunches to children in Rwanda who otherwise would get little or no food to eat. These children work hard and are dedicated to doing well in school so they can improve their families' situations and give back to their country when they grow up. But it’s hard to learn or grow without food!

An average meal in Rwanda costs $0.83, which means $25 provides food for a child for a month (30 meals). Feeding children and families is an extension of the gospel and provides students the stability and consistent nutrition necessary to complete their education.
