Arrive in Kenya Climbs Kilimanjaro

THE GOAL IS SIMPLE
On January 6th we (Nell Pollak, a volunteer at Arrive in Kenya  and Registone Ong'esa, a once street youth now thriving high school student) will set out to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for the non-profit that's changed both of our lives - Arrive in Kenya . Kilimanjaro has been summited before, but rarely has been done by a Kenyan soul who has fought every step of the way to get there.  For a child who lived in the shadows of addiction, homelessness, and without parents, this achievement is almost unheard of - and that is what makes this story so special. 

AND THE BEST PART?!
We want you to join us for this journey. Please consider donating and helping us further the efforts of a non-profit who is making a real difference in Kenyan youths' lives. 

WHAT IS ARRIVE IN KENYA ?  
Arrive generates positive action and sustainable advancement to empower children in impoverished regions of the world by providing shelter, promoting good health, offering access to education and giving at risk children tools and opportunities for a successful, independent, and fulfilling life.

WHERE WILL THE DOLLARS GO? 
The money we raise with your support will be split two ways-
