Kilimanjaro Climb Application Form

How did you hear about Africa New Life's fundraising climb?*
What is your motivation for joining this trip?*
Once we have enough applicants, we will decide how to divide into groups. Of the options, which would you be the most interested in?*
- All women
- All men
- Co-ed
It takes a minimum of 24 hours to travel to Tanzania and you will need to arrive in Moshi 1-2 days prior to your first day of climbing. Your trek will be 8 days. This means you will need to commit to taking 2 weeks off from work, plus additional days if you would like to travel to Rwanda for 2-3 days on the back-end of your trip. Are you prepared to do this?*
Team Dynamics
This is a hard mental and physical climb. Our last three groups made it to the summit, working hard and encouraging each other throughout fundraising and the climb. This trip created a bond between the climbers, even to this day. How are you in group or team settings?*
Are you comfortable sharing a tent with someone you have not met in-person? You will meet through social media or Zoom months prior to the climb.*
Are you prepared to go up to 9 days without a shower?*
Expenses and Fundraising
Africa New Life asks each climber to raise $10,000 on behalf of Africa New Life's Food and Care Program. Our past teams have had group goals between $150,000 and $300,000. Will you be committed to this fundraising goal?*
Tusker Trail is one of the safest and most well-known trekking companies. They have medically trained guides, and they are the only trekking group that carries a hyperbaric chamber. Their main goal is to keep you healthy and get you to the top of the mountain. The climb itself will cost between $5,500 and $6,000. The overall trip costs can be anywhere from $6,000 to $8,000. This includes your airfare to and from Tanzania, hotel stay in Moshi, cost for an 8 or 9 day trek (meals included), and any gear items you may not already own. You may need to rent some items from Tusker. The more gear items you have the less the trip cost is. Are you prepared to make this investment? The trip cost is separate and in addition to the fundraising goal you will have.*
Africa New Life welcomes you to visit our ministry in Rwanda post-climb. We will host the group for up to 3 days with a tailored itinerary to introduce you to Rwanda, our work, and give you the chance to visit your sponsored student. Africa New Life will cover your standard travel expenses while you are in Rwanda, inclusive of lodging, meals, and transportation. The following items will be paid at your expense:
- Additional time or excursions such as safari or a gorilla trek,
- Food Packs you deliver if you visit the student you sponsor,
- or gifts and souvenirs.
Are you interested in coming to Rwanda after your climb?*
Are you willing to post on your social media accounts, send out emails, and be willing to share about your fundraiser? This is the best way to fundraise!*
Conduct
Are you willing to accept guidance and even critique as you proceed through fundraising and training? Our goal is to see you succeed!*
Team chemistry and synergy is very important on the Kilimanjaro climb. If, at any time during your training and fundraising, your conduct is producing strife or offending members of the team, Africa New Life staff, or Tusker Trail staff, you may be asked to meet with Africa New Life leadership and, potentially, be asked to leave the team. This could potentially put your deposit at risk. Can you agree to this?*
Tusker Trails reserves the right to remove you from the team or to have you turn back during the hike for reasons of health or conduct. Can you agree to this?*
Additional Details
This trip is officially with Tusker Trail, not Africa New Life, but you are fundraising for the Africa New Life Food and Care Program. You will sign all forms with Tusker Trail in regards to life or death incidents. Any liability will be through them.
Additional Requirements
You must sign the Africa New Life statement of faith. You must be willing to join 3-4 video calls with the team throughout the fundraising process.
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class difference.
