About the KILIMANJARO CLIMB
Africa New Life periodically sends teams of staff, partners, and supporters to summit Mount Kilimanjaro as a fundraising effort in support of our Food & Care Program, providing vital nutrition and holistic support to families across Rwanda.
Participants spend several months building community with their team, preparing physically and spiritually for the climb, and working toward their fundraising goals.
The adventure begins in Tanzania, where climbers spend eight days trekking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. After the climb, team members have the opportunity to visit Rwanda and see the impact of their fundraising firsthand before returning home.
Africa New Life partners with Beyond Adventures, a trusted adventure guide company, to ensure each climber’s training, safety, and support—from preparation to the final steps of the journey.
Through your fundraising, you’ll help provide nutritious meals, medical care, and essential support to those who need it most in Rwanda.

Since the first Kilimanjaro legacy climb in 2017, the funds each team have raised serve Africa New Life’s ministry areas and goals for the future:
Africa New Life’s first Kilimanjaro team in 2017 raised over $300,000 to help build the Dream Medical Center (DMC). Today, the DMC is the second-largest private hospital in Rwanda, providing critical medical care to Rwandans in the Kigali area and beyond.
In 2018, our Kilimanjaro team raised $120,000 to help cover scholarships for Rwandan and East African pastors to attend the newly opened Africa College of Theology.
In 2020, our Kilimanjaro team raised $122,000 for our Food & Care Program. They had no idea how their efforts would be critical to our emergency COVID-19 relief efforts just a couple of months later! These funds helped support our colleagues in Rwanda as they responded to families’ needs during the pandemic and helped sustain our ministry during a fraught year.
In 2023, on the first climb since COVID-19, our Kilimanjaro teams raised more than $160,000 for the Food & Care Program, providing 200,000 school lunches to students in Rwanda!
In 2025, teams of Africa New Life supporters took on two iconic adventures—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and trekking to Machu Picchu—each one with a purpose greater than the journey itself. Through their commitment and fundraising efforts, they raised an incredible $144,000 through Kilimanjaro and $64,000 through Machu Picchu to support Africa New Life’s Food & Care Program, helping address food insecurity for students and families across Rwanda. Every step they took made a tangible impact—and future trips will continue building on that legacy of hope and provision
