As a Team Stirling Kili Challenge support member, you will act as a fundraiser in support of our Team, but you won't commit to the Kilimanjaro Challenge. The money you raise will be directed towards helping vulnerable communities in Kenya. Several communities lack access to clean water or suffer from restrictions in hygiene, which prevents many from going to school, work, and raising out of poverty. You can head to the DigDeep Africa site to learn more about the work they do! You will take part in organizing and volunteering at fundraising events, and maybe fundraise on your own. You'll also join us in chinwags, social events, and practice hikes if you will! The whole challenge will last until the end of August 2022, but you can choose the events and projects you want to do on your own time. If you're a student at the University of Stirling, you can also find us from the Union site!
