Turning Adventure Into Impact
In July 2025, Forever Projects partnered with Inspired Adventures for the very first time, bringing together a team of 11 passionate supporters to take on the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro - the world’s tallest freestanding mountain at 5,895m.
Over nine days, the team trekked through diverse climatic zones, starting in lush farmlands and rainforests, climbing into alpine meadows, and finally navigating the stark, lunar-like landscapes near the summit. Each step demanded resilience, determination, and teamwork, culminating in an unforgettable moment as the group stood together on the roof of Africa.
Joining the climb was Forever Projects’ founder, Mark, who shared personal insights into how the funds raised would directly transform the lives of women and families in Tanzania. His presence made the journey especially meaningful, linking every step on the mountain to the impact on the ground.
After the trek, the adventure continued with a safari through Tarangire National Park, where participants encountered elephants, lions, and breath-taking African wilderness. They also explored vibrant local markets, visited coffee farms, and most importantly met the women and families supported by Forever Projects. These moments created powerful connections and gave participants a firsthand understanding of the life-changing impact of their fundraising.
