HIV is still a major problem throughout Sub-Saharan Africa and results in so many orphans that their extended families are sometimes unable to cope. Bishop Matthew of South West Tanganyika (Tanzania) will be climbing Mount Kilimnajaro over 5 days in September to raise funds to build an orphanage in Sayuni. He is being sponsored within his Diocese.

I am attempting to mirror his challenge without the expense of travelling to Tanzania so that all money raised will go directly to support his cause. I am planning to climb Snowdon by five different routes over the same five days. This will be about the same distance as the climb of Kilimanjaro. The amount I hope to raise will be the equivalent of the cost of travel and the fees for climbing Kilimanjaro.
