Aim 4 Africa is offering ordinary people the opportunity for those wanting to fulfil a lifelong dream - climb Kilimanjaro and help raise funds for Comic Relief or your own Charity.
Last Year over £70million was raised by Comic Relief of which over £6million was earmarked to combat the deadly disease Malaria in Uganda and Zambia !
You don't have to be a celebrity or a fitness guru to make the trek up Kilimanjaro - we'll give you the guidance and tips necessary to make the trek to the Roof of Africa successfully and enjoyably. Our success rates are over 95% rising to over 98% on our small private treks. Plus we give you the opportunity to visit some of the projects close to our hearts either before or after your trek (two village schools and a hospital) so you can see how fund raising events such as these can go a long way towards helping those vulnerable members of our society. If you are inspired to trek this mighty mountain, then call us on (+44) 114 255 2533 for information on our private guided treks up Kilimanjaro, or to sign up for any of the following group-based treks using three different routes up Kili. You may also register your interest via our website enquiry form.
Please note however that you are not obliged to trek Kilimanjaro for charity.You may want to scale the mountain for your own personal challenge - and that's fine too!

Climbing Kilimanjaro For Charity?
Please note Aim 4 Africa Ltd is not a charity, so we would encourage you to set up your own fund-raising ideas at home or at work and directly contribute these to Comic Relief or raise funds for The Sasha Foundation, or another charity of your own choice. You don't have to trek for charity - and you don't have to feel obliged to do so. However if you do want more ideas or advice on how you can take part in a charitable challenge to trek Kilimanjaro, or for more information on the trek schedule and prices, please contact us at enquiries@aim4africa.com
P.S: You have to earn the respect of the mountain by first challenging it before you can call it "Kili" - till then, you will have to address it as "Kilimanjaro"! |

Now, the bonus is that you only need one visa to visit South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique or Botswana (part of the 6 SADC nations offering a joint visa - see below, news just hot off the press!)
HOT OFF THE PRESS! Joint visa for six SADC
countries
Mozambique is among the first group of six member
states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) who intend to
introduce a single visa, allowing tourists to visit all of them on the same
entry visa.
According to the Permanent Secretary in the
Ministry of Tourism, Fernanda Matsinha the single visa, known as Univisa, will
in its pilot phase cover Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana
and Swaziland.
It is to be introduced by June, so that tourists
visiting South Africa for the football World Cup will be able to take advantage
of it. Univisa is aimed at tourists from Europe and the United States, giving
them great flexibility in the dates for entering and leaving each of the
countries in the scheme

| MAASAI MARATHON + MAASAI VILLAGE WATER PROJECT UPDATE |
| |
 |
Following the successful fund raising by six Maasai Warriors from Eluai Village in Northern Tanzania, Aim 4 Africa, co-sponsors of the Maasai Marathon in April 2008, are proud to announce that GBP115,000 was raised for the village water project! Well Done and Many Thanks to all our clients and friends who contributed - this overwhelming response has gone to show how amazing you all are! Asanteni Sana! Many Maasai Families in Northern Tanzania can now enjoy safe drinking water - Thanks to YOUR generosity and support!
Aim 4 Africa carried out an intensive awareness campaign to highlight the plight of Eluai village (and other villages in the area) who had little access to clean water.
Paul Martin of Greenforce, the charity organizing the London Marathon in April, said the organization were thrilled at the response received from the campaign. The initial target was GBP20,000-GBP60,000.
Aim 4 Africa continues to monitor the project and works with other local village development projects to ensure that local communities can benefit from life’s essentials that we all in the West seem to take for granted. |
Drilling work commenced at the end of November 2008 to source water from underground sources at Eluai Village.
