VSO & Randstad Kilimanjaro Challenge

I have been fortunate enough to have countless of opportunites to have a career which enables me to provide for my family. I am raising money for the Voluntary Service Overseas programme because I want other people to have the knowledge and ability to provide for their families too.

Myself and a group of collegues at Randstad from across the globe will be climbing kilimanjaro in February 2025 to raise funds for the VSO programme. We will then have a field visit with VSO for a few days to see how all the donations are used and how we have helped the programme with our trek.

With your investment, we expect to achieve the following results by December 2025:

• Reach 100 women, with 70% reporting an increase in income, business expansion, and improved capacity to manage marine resources, contributing to their economic independence and the health of the blue economy.
• Provide childcare assistance to 100 women in the fisheries sector, evidenced by 50% utilization of the childcare service and a 40% increase in reported satisfaction with service accessibility.
• At least 70% of 1000 targeted women will report increased knowledge about their rights and will exercise those rights to improve working conditions and performance in the fisheries sector.
• At least 70% of 100 women will be actively engaged in community forums in the blue economy, demonstrating behavioral change and new business practices as measured by pre- and post-program surveys.
