At the end of September, Flow Forward Africa will take on one of Africa’s greatest challenges: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Standing at 5,895 metres above sea level, Kilimanjaro is a test of resilience, determination, and purpose. For us, it represents something even greater.
Every step we take is a step towards ending period poverty.
This expedition is more than a climb. It is a commitment to ensuring that girls across Africa have access to the menstrual products, education, and support they need to remain in school and reach their full potential.
Because while the summit may be our destination, lasting impact is our purpose.
Period poverty continues to prevent thousands of girls from participating fully in their education.
Without access to essential menstrual products, many girls miss valuable classroom time, lose confidence, and face unnecessary barriers to achieving their goals.
We believe that no girl’s future should be defined by circumstances beyond her control.
The Kilimanjaro expedition is our way of turning awareness into action.
Through this challenge, we are raising funds that will directly support menstrual hygiene product distribution, educational workshops, and community outreach programmes delivered alongside our partners.
Every metre climbed represents another step towards creating opportunities for girls who deserve every chance to succeed.
The climb has become a unique way for individuals and businesses to support meaningful change.
Corporate partners are sponsoring every metre climbed, transforming each step up the mountain into practical support for girls across Africa.
Alongside our corporate sponsorships, individual supporters are helping us reach our fundraising goals through our public campaign, proving that lasting impact is created when communities come together around a shared purpose.
Together, we are aiming to raise more than funds.
We are raising awareness, creating conversations, and inspiring action.
Reaching the top of Kilimanjaro will mark the end of the expedition.
It will also mark the beginning of the next chapter for Flow Forward Africa.
The funds raised will help us expand our outreach programmes, provide menstrual hygiene products to more girls, strengthen our educational workshops, and build partnerships with communities that are creating lasting change from within.
Our vision extends far beyond one mountain.
We are working towards a future where no girl misses school because of her period, where menstrual health is discussed openly and without stigma, and where every young woman has the opportunity to pursue her education with confidence and dignity.
You don’t need to stand on the slopes of Kilimanjaro to be part of this journey.
You can climb with us by becoming a corporate sponsor, supporting our fundraising campaign, partnering with Flow Forward Africa, or sharing our mission with your community.
Every contribution, every conversation, and every act of support helps move us closer to a future where period poverty no longer limits a girl’s potential.
Together, we can turn one climb into thousands of opportunities.
Together, we can help every girl keep moving forward.
