<span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thereโs estimated to be 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste on Earth. By the middle of this century ton for ton, theyโll be more plastic in the ocean than fish. While most of the micro-plastic collects or is peppered throughout the surface, a study probing creatures from the deepest parts of the ocean found that many if not most of the organisms there had ingested plastic.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In
an effort to promote sustainability of tourism in Tanzania, Zara tours
partnered with Mount Kilimanjaro Portersโ Society (herein referred to as
MKPS). In accordance with this partnership, since that time and to this
date (MKPS) porters are assisting Zara Tours clients during Mt
Kilimanjaro climbs. This ensures employment for the MKPS porters through
Zara Tours. A significant number of Porters support their families and
earn their livelihoods through the jobs they get from Zara Tours.</span></div>

been sued or questioned by the authorities for not keeping and upholding
the law set forth by the state.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">According to </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">rule 7 of the Mountains National Parks Regulations of 2003</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The
society exists as a shield for porters who are registered under it with
the goal of improving the living and working conditions of these
porters. The porters gain the following benefits as being the member of
the society;</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol>
<li style="color: black; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">HEALTH INSURANCE: -</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
With the nature of the work the porters do, it is easy to get sick or
injured on the job. Therefore, all porters under Mount Kilimanjaro
Porters Society are registered on the National Health Insurance Fund to
provide them security if they get sick or injured while working. At the
beginning of every high season (where there are more tourists climbing
Kilimanjaro), Mount Kilimanjaro Porterโs society ensures that all
porters are healthy and medically checked, so that at the start of the
season everyone is physically fit. This benefit goes hand in hand with </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">rule 8 of the Mountains National Parks Regulations of 2003</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
which provides that the Registered Porters Association shall make sure
that all porters intending to climb any mountain are healthy and
physically fit and have justified their fitness by submitting medical
certificates. They do this once every twelve months. </span></li>
<li style="color: black; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EDUCATION: -</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Proper methods of saving and spending money ensure that the porters
have concrete ways and strategies of spending money, this enables them
to better take care of their families. Mount Kilimanjaro Porterโs
Society arranges financial management classes for porters occasionally
and ensures that all porters have bank accounts where their salaries are
paid into. Bank accounts allow the porters to save money for the

To reduce the risk of losing lives, for tourists, porters and guides,
the porters under Mount Kilimanjaro Porters society are provided with
basic mountain first aid training. This enables them to be of help for
each other, in the case of an emergency, but also to be effective if a
client is ill. The training is usually done during low season because
this ensures that there are many porters available in town, allowing the
course to attain a high attendance rate.</span></li>

<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In
summing up, Zara Tours observes all the rules and regulations set by
the Kilimanjaro National Park towards promoting sustainability in
tourism and protecting the rights of all who are involved. </span></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I
therefore have good reason to believe that there are many competitive
companies which run treks on Kilimanjaro and our 31 years of success in
the business is already sending waves to some of our competitors.
Unfortunately, they attempt to distort the market forces through foul
play and applying unethical techniques on business to destroy the effort
of others.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">ZARA
is one of the Companies owned 100% by Tanzanians hence all the profits
gain goes 100% to the development of the country and her people.</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Furthermore,
we would like to emphasize that MKPS is not a mere society of porters
with no core values. We believe that this organization plays a crucial
part in the daily lives of all porters and this is due to undeniable
fact that MKPS has a number benefits for the registered porters which
have been explained and discussed above. ZARA Tours is proud of this and
we will continue to support and play an important part in the lives and
well-being of all our staff.</span><br />

<br /></div>
The Mount Kilimanjaro Porter's Society was created by
ZARA Tours in 2004 for the purpose of preventing the exploitation of the
local population and preserving the local environment through
sustainable tourism. Before the founding of the Mount Kilimanjaro
Porter's Society, there was no regulating body to ensure the safety and
well-being of the porters summiting the mountain. Given the need for
employment, these individuals were endangering their lives to secure
work, they received poor quality provisions and safety gear, they
overloaded themselves with equipment, and they were not paid fair wages.
Also during this time, few porters possessed significant knowledge
about sustaining Mount Kilimanjaro's ecosystem or habitat. The creation
of the Porter's Society has fought hard to alleviate these challenges
through central coordination.Now the Porter's Society is an
established organization with its own constitution, includes over 700
porters, and is completely self governed. The ultimate goals of this
society are to protect the rights of the porters that work on Mount
Kilimanjaro. The first of it's kind in the area, some of the beneficial
measures provided by the MKPS include:<br />
<div class="text">
(1) Weight limits on the amount
of gear porters are required to carry</div>
<div class="text">
(2) Minimum standards for wages,
rations, and sufficient gear</div>
<div class="text">
(3) Free English education
classes</div>
<div class="text">
(4) Free first aid and mountain safety education classes</div>
<div class="text">
(5) Free educational classes on sustainable tourism and environmental
conservation of the mountain<br />
(6) Micro-finance loan assistance and
provision of emergency funds for porters' families. </div>
<div class="text">
(7) Health insurance for all porters under MKPS</div>
<div class="text">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text">
Additionally, the
porters of this society take part in two climbs per year in which they
clean the mountain on their way to the top. In these ways the Porter's
Society is working very hard to protect the health and safety of the
porters while at the same time supporting the community and providing
better customer service for tourists. </div>

<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">
This
society was registered under the name Mount Kilimanjaro Porters Society
on 30th September 2005 as a non govermental organization with a
certificate no 13296 under the organization art of the United Republic
of Tanzania. The society exists as a shield for porters who are
registered under it with the goal of improving the living and working
condition of these porters.<br />
The fact that a large percent of the porters are low income earners
who are either semi-illitrate or illitrate, mount kilimanjaro porters
society we ensures that these porters are taken care of in the case of
payments as they come back from work and other aspects that relates with
work and their normal lives. With our big assistance from
mount kilimanjaro porters society we ensures that porters are benefited in
the listed ways below:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Health Insurance</b></li>
</ol>
With the nature of work the porters do it is easy to get sick or
injured while they work, for this case all porters under Mount
Kilimanjaro Porters Society are registered on the National Health
Insurance Fund to secure them if they get sick or injured while working.
Together with that at the beginning of every high season (more tourists
climbing kilimanjaro), Mount kilimanjaro porters society we ensures that
all porters are healthy checked so as to start the season while everyone
is physically fit.<br />
2<b>. First Aid Training</b><br />
We reduce the risk of loosing lives for both tourists and porters,
the porters under Mount kilimanjaro Porters Society are trained with the
basic mountain first aid knowledge which enables them to be of help
between themselves and even to clients. The training is usually done
during low season (less tourists climbing Kilimanjaro) because here many
porters are in town and they attend in high numbers.<br />
3. <b>Beginner English Learning Classes</b><br />
Almost 90% of the porters can not speak English, for this reason it
is hard for them to communicate with tourists whenever required to. To
remove this misunderstanding Mount Kilimanjaro Porters Society
organizers tailor we made english classes for the porters which enables
them to gain the basic language knowledge and be able to communicate
with the tourits. Also this is done during low season (less tourists
climbing Kilimanjaro) because many porters are in town and the number of
attendees is high.<br />
5. <b>HIV Aids Education</b><br />
HIV AIDS has been a threatening disease in our country for a while
now. People with less knowledge on how to prevent themselve from such a
disease have been attacked by this disease generations to generations.
Poverty and illiteracy is the main cause for this disease that is why as Mount Kilimanjaro Porters Society usually we arranges HIV AIDS classes for
the porters so that they can learn how to prevent themselves from it and
also to be able to go to work and take care of their families.<br />
<b> 4. Financial Management Education</b><br />
With the income they earn without proper methods of saving and using
it will be difficult for porters to take care of their families. Mount
Kilimanjaro Porters Society we arranges finacial managemnet classes for
porters from time to time and also we ensures that all porters have bank
accounts for which their salaries are paid to and also they use them to
save money for the future especially during low season when few tourists
climb Kilimanjaro.<br />

KILIMANJARO FOR A CAUSE!JOHN Cairns (50), a Canadian man who lost his right arm and right leg in
a workplace accident in 1992, accompanied by Lucas Wise-man had 7-day
Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Expedition through Rongai route to raise
awareness of the needs and abilities of people with physical
disabilities and funds for his Wheelchair of Hope Foundation.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9AfSIjuDHF0/WaOydqsweAI/AAAAAAAAA2w/BGbwJ2Fhp8E8BQX7WEgj4kKAWcrbaKwYwCEwYBhgL/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="455" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9AfSIjuDHF0/WaOydqsweAI/AAAAAAAAA2w/BGbwJ2Fhp8E8BQX7WEgj4kKAWcrbaKwYwCEwYBhgL/s320/1.jpg" width="239" /></a>A man with only one left leg and one right hand from America is not a
sailor. But still he has a right to shout: โAhoy there!โ because he
managed to reach a top Mt. Kilimanjaro representing a cause for people
with physical disabilities worldwide.
<br />
As Cairns recalls it was around 6.35 a.m. on August 7, 2016 during
their summiting to the โRoof of Africaโ after a breath taking 2 and half
hour slow walk from Hans Meyer cave that he managed to reach Gilmanโs
point, 5,681 meters, above sea level.โจโจโFor some seconds I totally
forgot that I came along with my friend Lucas Wiseman, then some 15
minutes or so later turning I saw him coming towards me from Uhuru peak
(5,895m ASL), just few meters from where I was in a second group under
guidance from professional mountain guide from the ZARA Tanzania
Adventures and it downed on me that he has made it. We both made
it!โโจโจHe recollected that was the culmination of โour seven day Mt.
Kilimanjaro climbโ through the toughest Rongai route that to him still
seems like a dream. โReaching Gilmanโs peak was a dream come trueโจbut
the actual climb is a long episode that ones need to grow old first to
forget,โ Mr. Cairns noted in an exclusive interviews with this paper
with tears of joy!โจโจโI do like the challenge thatโs why I come to scale
Mt. Kilimanjaro though I lost my right leg and hand and Iโm very much
appreciate myself that I made it to the Gilmanโs Peak with the โgreat
assistanceโ from Edwin Kilawe, a Tour Guide with ZARA Tanzania
Adventures..โ he explained.โจโจAccording to Mr. Cairns, he dreamed to
scale Mt. Kilimanjaro for a long time to prove to the World that
โAnything is Possible if you likeโ and disabled can do if
assisted.โจโจโWhen back to Canada I will tout for all people to come to
Tanzania and enjoy agony, joy and pride of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, and
I thank God that I made it to high peak, much salutes goes to ZARA
mountain guides, Edwin Kilawe and Joseph Meela and their team for their
good assistance who was very patient and kind to me. They assisted me
very much to fulfill my dream, and next year I will come to scale gain
the highest Peak of Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro to Uhuru peakโฆโ Mr. Cairns
further explained in tears of joy.<br />

Kilimanjaro challengeโ
Cairns explained that, he has decided to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro which is
also famously known as โThe Roof of Africaโ with also the aim of
delivering mobility into the lives of children, teens and adults, within
the community who otherwise would have limited resources to acquire a
wheelchair on their own in Canada and in Tanzania through the charity
Kilimanjaro climbing organized by the ZARA Tanzania Adventures for the
cause.
<br />
According to him, his mission through his charity organization called
Wheelchair of Hope Foundation is also transforming lives through
providing dignity of mobility, hope and opportunity through freedom of
independence.<br />
โThrough the generosity and support of both local and international
sponsors, Wheelchair of Hope Foundation is able to deliver hope,
independence, and enable human and social upward mobilityโฆโ Cairns
explained.<br />
On his way to the highest top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Cairns provided
free toothbrushes and toothpaste to the marginalized children in Rombo
district, Kilimanjaro region donated by Family Dental Centre in Canada.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SikGlm6nQdA/WaOydhu7tbI/AAAAAAAAA3A/Nn3BVkk8lbcjOBdCXdnktN17DF2wr0nfACEwYBhgL/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="455" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SikGlm6nQdA/WaOydhu7tbI/AAAAAAAAA3A/Nn3BVkk8lbcjOBdCXdnktN17DF2wr0nfACEwYBhgL/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Explaining his life experience and how he became physically disabled,
John Cairns explained that; โTwenty-three years back, I was hit by a
train and survived,โ he said. โIโve met many mountains, some the size of
Mount Everest metaphorically, and have climbed and succeeded to achieve
just unbelievable success through tragedy.โ<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

which gives the gift of mobility by providing free devices such as
wheelchairs, power chairs and scooters to those who need them in and
around the Quinte region.
<br />
The foundationโs mission is to equip people with the devices they need to live their lives to the fullest, he said.<br />
โWhen you think of everything that you do on a day-to-day basis, it
all centers around mobility,โ Cairns said adding that mobility devices
positively impact the lives of those who receive them. We bring a higher
degree of quality of life that theyโre so deserving of.โ Cairns said.<br />
For his part, a photo journalist form Canada, Lucas Wiseman who
reached the highest peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895m ASL) explained that;
โI had a spirit of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro long time ago thatโs why I
succeed and made it to Uhuru Peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895 m ASL) under
great assistance from professional mountain guides from ZARA Tours, and
Iโm now planning to climb other highest mountains of the World for
charity as we did..โ he explained cheerfully.<br />
<br />

Kilimanjaro to the highest peak is way
of fulfilling his dream of helping the needy people worldwide being the
first young Tanzanian to scale and reach the highest peaks of the
highest mountains in different continents of the world famously known as
โSeven Summitsโ.
<br />
As Wiseman recalls it was around 4:55 a.m. on August 7, 2016 after a
breath taking 2 and half hour slow walk from Stella Point that he
managed to reach Uhuru Peak, 5,895 meters, above sea level.โจโจโFor some

we understand that a very significant factor in the decision of many
adventurers to climb Kilimanjaro with us is that we control everything
directly ourselves, not relying on any middlemen or local tour operators
to dilute the integrity of sometimes very sensitive and specific
information as it passes down through the chain of command.
Consequently, our climbers expect near-perfect communication between
management and our staff on the ground on Kilimanjaro, and swift and
ready access to information pertaining to all aspects to their booking.
While we believe that the nature of Mount Kilimanjaro Porters Society's (MKPS) operational
structure affords us a very great advantage in this sense, we would
however, like to caution climbers that they should please understand the
limitations of the hardware that we use on Kilimanjaro, and โ more
significantly โ the limitations of the cellular network provider to
supply consistent signal across the mountain. With such concerns in
mind, we would suggest that while climbers may rightly expect MKPS to
enjoy the highest standards of communication realistically available, we
regret that such are the objective limitations that lie outside our
control, that climbers should certainly not base their decision to climb
with us on the assumption that we will unfailingly be capable of
providing photographs of their climb sent in live-time direct from the
mountain on every day of their climb.<br />

For family and friends of a climber it can be worrying to imagine them
struggling against altitude, the elements, and objective risks
associated with climbing a mountain, and to have no information or
updates about how they are faring.Mount Kilimanjaro Porter Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549228905732080479noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716668063128565825.post-69894809373620679402017-08-21T04:52:00.000-07:002017-08-21T04:52:53.378-07:00 From being a Porter to a Professional Guide<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have <a href="http://www.tracypepper.com/">Tracy Pepper</a> in our office hard at work updating our Porters Database with photos and stories of some of the great porters who work so hard to get people to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This database is going to help us share porters stories and hopefully get them the exposure they deserve so that maybe a kind and generous soul might want to sponsor one of them to continue their education so that they can live a life of their dreams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maybe you've climbed Kili and you remember a porters face but can't remember his name. This database will help reconnect people who may wish to help someone who helped them reach the "impossible".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We all have dreams. Your dream might have been to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro. Many of our porters dreams are simple - to send their kids to school and to have the opportunity to earn more money through schooling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Education is the KEY to a better life. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Porters are contracted by guides from various companies. <a href="http://www.zaracharity.com/">Zara Charity</a> created <a href="http://www.kilimanjaro-porters.org/">MKPS</a> to insure that porters were given equal rights and pay regardless of which company employs them. Their pay has not been consistent over the years but thankfully to Zara, the Minister of Tourism announced that all porters must earn $10/day. There has been some false claims that the porters working for Zara are not paid fairly and that the tips are not distributed fairly. Zara is the only company that pays their porters directly into their personal bank accounts which means that a porter must have a registered account. They also provide workshops on financial management, entrepreneurial skills, disease and alcohol education and a number of other courses free of charge to all porters and guides of Kilimanjaro. Many porters aspire to one day become guides or tour operators or entrepreneurs. Here we will share their stories and maybe find them a sponsor who will help fund their education to give them and their family a better future. These are a few of the wonderful porters of Kilimanjaro. Zara is currently fighting the Tanzanian government to increase the wage by another $3. The stories are will inspire you and make you appreciate what you have.</span></span></blockquote>

Many porters spend their money on the wrong things. My dream is to go to school to study Tourism. I want to become a tour operator or to run my own business but I would like to find a sponsor who can help me achieve my Bachelor of Arts in Tourism. Another dream is to make sure that my children are going to school so that they have a better life."<br /><br />"MKPS is much better organized compared to other societies. They make sure that when I work I am paid and if I get injured I am treated immediately."<br /><br />"Tips should be given directly to the porters from the clients if possible and not through the guides. Clients should consider tipping each porter no less than $15/day."<br /><br />He owns most of his own equipment and clothing which he purchased himself with tips and salary. He needs thermals undergarments and mittens.<br /><br />"Climbing the mountain needs courage and it is not easy work. You should sacrifice yourself. It is so difficult, you can die if you are not careful. But it will give you a better life and make you a hero."</span></span><br />

MKPS also provide us with mountain equipment like raincoats. We are all one family, I like being an MKPS member."<br /><br />He has purchased his own equipment but he doesn't have proper gloves. He said he's hesitant to borrow them from MKPS because he doesn't want to be held responsible if they are stolen or go missing. Also he mentioned that the guides prefer them not to wear gloves - they say it will make them stronger. If they forget their gloves at home, they can still work.<br /><br />"My dream is to be a driver guide in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I want to go back to school, study at the Mweka College for 3 years. I want to improve my Spanish. I want to help my family."<br /><br />"The best part about being a porter is the hospitality - helping others on the mountain, supporting them by carrying their equipment and the satisfaction I feel helping both clients and my own team.

She is a porter at The Zara tours company..My name is Angel Tegemea Mafuwe, I was born at machame uduru in 21/12/1992, we are five children in our family I have two sisters and two brothers. I completed my primary education at uduru primary school at machame in 2006,I was selected to join secondary education in 2007 at machame uduru secondary school complete my secondary education in 2010, I was not able to proceed with advance education because of low pass mark I got division iv 32, My mother passed away in 2007 and no one was there to support me in my education and my father has no job so I didnโt go back to school. When my mother passed away we were left with our father and he doesnโt have a permanent job, he deals with small business to support our family, in our family Iโm the only child who was able to reach secondary school, my brother my sister and my twin sister they also deals with small business. Due to the low living standard of our family I decide to find a job at green beans company which is located at mkufi area opposite machine tools in 2011,I did the job for two month, later on I quite the job because the salary was not enough to satisfy me and my family needs. When I was home after quitting the job I was thinking of which job should I do to earn money in order to satisfy my needs and my family needs? I heard from my friends that there is a porter job that is offered by some tours companies, I applied for the job in 2011 and I was able to work with some tour companies in Moshi but failed to continue working with them because of low salary which didnโt satisfy my needs. I decided to look for another job at ZARA tours in 14/1/2011, and I was hired, My guide was Yohana he cooperated with me, and my first route with him was mount meru, and I proceed well doing other job with him. I am thankful to ZARA tours director ZAINAB .A. ANSELL for supporting me especially by giving me job which helps me to be able to stand as a woman and Iโm able to assist my family and to fulfill my personal needs and my family needs such as food, shelter, hospital bills e.t.c. WITH THANKS, YOURS SINCERLY, ANGEL TEGEMEA MAFUWE.</div>
