Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP)
 Tanzania  |  Human Rights

Our Mission is to improve the working conditions of the porters on Kilimanjaro.

Those who have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro know that the porters are the heart and soul of the trek. Without their hard work and strength we would not be able to fully experience the magnificence of Kilimanjaro. But the truth is porters are often impoverished Tanzanians who depend on this labor-intensive employment in order to feed themselves and their families. The Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project recognizes the value of the demanding labor these porters perform. We are committed to improve the working conditions of the Porters on Kilimanjaro, we offer educational opportunities to motivate and empower porters while raising public awareness regarding proper working conditions and treatment. We provide clients with the fundamental information necessary to choose a socially responsible climbing company.Whether you are a climber, porter, guide, or managing a tour company, the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project needs your help in ensuring fair treatment of all porters.
