Personal message

Botshabelo, a home for abandoned and orphoned babies, which also facilitates adoption, is based in Midrand, Johannesburg. Botshabelo is also changing the lives of children through its educare centre and teacher upliftment programmes in impoverished communities.

We, Owen and Alicia, are embarking on a Kilimanjaro climb in order to raise funds for Botshabelo. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. This will be a gruelling 6 day hike (24/09/2019 to 29/09/2019) ascending to 5895m and we will be walking for 6-8hrs per day.

Please partner with us by making a generous donation to this worthy cause.
