In summer 2026, a group of Imperial College London students will travel to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, which rises 5,895 metres above sea level. It is the highest peak in Africa, a dormant volcano, and one of the world's famous Seven Summits.

The climb will take the team through five distinct climate zones, from lush rainforest to rocky alpine slopes and an icy summit. It will be a demanding journey, but also an incredible opportunity to experience the challenge of high-altitude trekking and working together towards something truly meaningful.

Each member of the Imperial Kilimanjaro Challenge is raising up to £4,970 in support of Street Child.

Street Child is an international children's education charity, active in more than 20 of the world's most low-income and disaster-struck countries, with a purpose to breakdown all the barriers that prevent a child from being safe, in school and learning.

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to working with local-level in-country organisations. We know that real, lasting change happens when local communities lead the way. Our work includes building and refurbishing schools, training teachers, enrolling children into class, and supporting families and caregivers to develop small businesses to financially and sustainably support the costs of their children's education.

Street Child's partnership with Choose a Challenge shows the powerful synergy of students supporting students. A chance for students in the UK to stand in solidarity with children and youth around the world.

During a time where major government donors are making cuts to global aid - resulting in a 25% drop of funding for education - your support of Street Child is critical to ensuring children around the world get access to the education they deserve.

Thank you!
