S.E.W. (Successfully Empowering Women) was created to help brighten the future of women by successfully climbing Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro. This climb will benefit the women and children of the O’Brien School for the Maasai. The school is a registered, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is also recognized by the Tanzanian government.
I am excited to be part of this climb team and raise money for these women and children. The money raised will help these women learn a craft and perfect their current crafts to give them an independence and help them provide for their own families. Money will also be used to help keep the school running! S.E.W. would like these women to see that fighting for what you want can help break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their family. We know our climb won't fix everything for these Women, but we hope to bring awareness, and some hope to the empowerment of these women!
