Giving Back to the Community
At Shalom Trekking Adventure, we believe in the power of adventure to create positive change. Alongside our thrilling mountain climbing and safari experiences, we are committed to community development in Tanzania. A portion of our profits is dedicated to aiding underserved communities, allowing our guests to make a meaningful impact while enjoying their journeys.
Climb for Charity
When you choose to climb Kilimanjaro or participate in our safari adventures, you can also contribute to our charitable initiatives. Through special programs, a percentage of the profits from your adventure goes directly to supporting orphans in various centers around Kilimanjaro.
Our Collaborations
We proudly partner with the G.O.A.L.S Organization to implement impactful programs:
Sponsoring Girls:
We provide sponsorships for girls whose families struggle to afford education. This support covers essential school fees, uniforms, books, and meals, ensuring that each girl has the resources she needs to thrive academically.
Supporting Families:
Recognizing the vital role a supportive home environment plays in a child's development, we extend our assistance to the families of our sponsored girls. This includes help with housing, food, and creating safe spaces for study and growth.
Community Center & Café/Gift Shop:
We are excited to be building a Community Center that will serve as a hub for learning, creativity, and empowerment. The first floor will feature a carpentry workshop, craft room, and kitchen, offering practical skills training and a space for community activities. The second floor will host a daycare, playroom, and library, providing a safe and enriching environment for children.
Our Café and Gift Shop will be a vibrant meeting place that showcases the talents of local women. Visitors can enjoy unique desserts, including specialties inspired by Theresa’s Italian heritage.
