Kilimanjaro Challenge is a charity project set up by Accenture employees to raise money for African citizens who are affected by HIV/AIDS. In climbing Africa's biggest mountain, we are hoping that our efforts will go some way to raising desperately needed funding for one of Africa's biggest problems. This trek is organised in association with the charity VSO and we are supporting RAISA (Regional Aids Initiative of Southern Africa); a four-year initiative of VSO seeking to strengthen the response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Southern Africa.

Your money can have a direct impact on saving the lives of African citizens who desperately need help. Your money will help train and equip a VSO volunteer to live and work in an effected community and develop the skills of governments, businesses and NGO's, helping them support the millions of citizens and their relatives who are already infected. It costs £15,000 for a VSO volunteer to spend a year in Africa, where they are able to have an immeasurable impact in the communities in which they work.

We are passionate about what we are doing and we want your help. Please give as much as you can and help us support the efforts of volunteers who are working tirelessly to help mitigate the effects of this entirely preventable human pandemic.

Many thanks,
