CLIMB COMPLETED! On the 7th of September 2007, 8 Spannerworkers successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. We have been raising money for a Children’s Home in Moshi, Tanzania, The Amani Kids Home, which is run on donations.

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way – our clients, our colleagues, and our friends and family. You have all been absolutely wonderful and we could not have done this without you, so thank you again. Notes from the team and pictures of our journey are here.

The total amount raised currently stands at £12,402.72. Our target was £10,000.00.

Valerie Todd, Director of the Amani Home, says:

“Spannerworks’ dedicated support of Amani Children’s Home over the years is unparalleled.

The Spannerworks’ team’s climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro will make it possible for Amani to build a playground. For children who had been living on the streets, the chance to play and explore will be a wonderful gift for them, and an important part of how Amani restores hope and joy to their lives.”
