The GGM Kilimanjaro Challenge Against HIV and AIDS Trust, established by Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML) in 2002, is one of the most significant private sector initiatives in Tanzania’s fight against HIV and AIDS. Our charity is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
In 2008, exactly six years after the charity’s inception, GGML partnered with the Tanzanian Government through the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS) to manage the GGM Kili Challenge Trust Organisation. We now have a Board representing both TACAIDS and GGML.
Tanzania has made significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, but sustaining these gains requires more than continued effort. It requires sustainable financing and stronger participation from the private sector and domestic partners.
As external funding declines, strengthening internal financing mechanisms and private sector engagement is essential to ensure that prevention, treatment, and community support services continue reaching those who need them most.
Your participation helps sustain critical programs delivered through hospitals, clinics, community organizations, and national initiatives working toward:
• Zero New Infections
• Zero Deaths from HIV/AIDS
• Zero Stigma
By strengthening domestic financing and encouraging private sector leadership, we can secure the future of Tanzania’s HIV response and ensure that the progress made over the years continues to protect communities across the country.
The Kili Challenge is the flagship fundraising event of the Geita Gold Mining Limited Kilimanjaro Challenge Against HIV/AIDS Trust. Through an annual climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and a long-distance cycling challenge around the mountain, participants mobilize financial support for the national fight against HIV/AIDS. The funds raised through this challenge are directed to community organizations, health facilities, and programs across Tanzania that work on HIV prevention, care, treatment support, and stigma reduction, making the Kili Challenge the Trust’s primary platform for generating resources and engaging partners in this mission.
Take on Africa’s tallest peak in a 7-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5,895 meters, every step you take helps raise awareness and mobilize resources to achieve:
• Zero New HIV Infections
• Zero HIV/AIDS Related Deaths
• Zero Stigma
This is a climb for impact.
