WE ACCEPT DONATIONS

The Mount Kilimanjaro Porters Society (MKPS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the working conditions and welfare of the porters who tirelessly serve the trekkers and climbers on Mount Kilimanjaro. These porters play an integral role in the success of every expedition, often carrying heavy loads and enduring harsh conditions.

In partnership with Zara Tanzania Adventures, a renowned adventure company, we invite you to join hands and contribute to a noble cause by donating mountain gear to support these unsung heroes. Zara Tanzania Adventures has generously offered to cover the shipping costs for consolidated donations, making your contribution even more impactful.


The Cause:


The porters of Mount Kilimanjaro form the backbone of every expedition, enabling climbers to conquer the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. They carry equipment, set up camps, and ensure the safety and success of trekkers. Unfortunately, porters often lack proper mountain gear, leaving them vulnerable to the elements and risking their safety. Your donation can make a significant difference in enhancing their working conditions and overall well-being.
