Spring is in the air and in our steps

Glory Thobias, pictured center, leads the women guide training program and works with the women to ensure the training, their gear, and their jobs are going strong! Most of the women are in their twenties, and formerly worked as porters making pennies on the dollar. Now, as guides, they are earning on average $7.00 a day climbing the mountain. Mt. Kilimanjaro is 19,371 feet in altitude and climbs can take up to two weeks to reach the summit!
