Kilimanjaro Porter Welfare (The Main Goal)

This includes promoting fair pay, reasonable carrying loads, suitable clothing, proper meals, safe sleeping conditions, access to medical support, and respectful treatment from tour operators and travelers.

The organization believes that a successful Kilimanjaro trek should not only be measured by reaching the summit, but also by how responsibly and fairly the mountain crew is treated throughout the journey.
