“Kupanda mlima siyo lelemama” (translated as “Climbing a mountain is not dancing”) are powerful words of Mzee James that perfectly capture the grit, determination, and resilience required to conquer the Mountains.

At 74 years old, Mzee James, our oldest climber, plans to make his 2nd courageous attempt to conquer the Mighty Mt.Kilimanjaro. He is a Land Human Rights Defender from Mithini Squatters, Murang’a County having joined the Climb for Justice expedition to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021. 

This extraordinary journey will see him take 140,000 steps over 8 days and 96 kilometers, roundtrip. He needs your support to make this climb a success and raise funds for HAKI Village, a resource hub dedicated to safeguarding Human Rights Defenders’ rights.
