Mount Kilimanjaro Climb Fundraiser - KEEP Climbing - February 2006: In February 2006, 12 people from both North and South Carolina took on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and in the process, raised $125,000 to establish a permanent endowment to finance quality higher education for the 98 children presently at the center.

Our 98 children, between 5 and 16 years old, are taught the same subjects as in U.S. public schools by a staff of eight teachers and a head master.All children will need either college or vocational education before they can enter the job market and break the cycle of poverty.

The earnings of the KEEP endowment fund will be used to pay for college tuitions, vocational teachers and materials. When our climbers summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro, they were at 19,340 feet. Each of them had raised money. The sponsorship levels were as follows:

Uhuru Peak Level	$19,340+
Horombo Camp Level	$12,100+
Marangu Level	$5,000+
Jubilee Level	$1,000+
Lion Level	$500
Zebra Level	$100

Your help is still needed!

Individual or corporate sponsorships are continuously needed to support the endowment. Donated funds will go strictly to the KEEP Fund.
