Climbing Kilimanjaro to Empower Kids Impacted by War

Because we believe war cannot have the final word.

[update June 12th, 2026]

It’s hard to believe that we are less than 130 days away from beginning our trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point on the continent of Africa! Pam and I are taking on this incredible adventure because it is  deeply meaningful to us: We are using this opportunity to raise awareness and support for ChildVoice.

We’d like to invite you to join ChildVoice’s mission of restoring the voices of children silenced by war by sponsoring our ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro this October. Every step of this incredible journey helps bring hope and healing to war-affected children who are overcoming unimaginable challenges. The funds raised through this adventure will provide critical resources—from education and counseling to life-saving support—that empower these children to rebuild their lives and inspire a brighter future. 

Over the last 20 years ChildVoice has served over 16,000 young people from places like Uganda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Moldova, and Ukraine. With dozens of active conflict zones around the world, ChildVoice envisions being present in each one—bringing restoration and hope to communities affected by war. 

Flights are booked! 

Kilimanjaro bookings complete! 

Training in progress! 

Equipment and gear being assembled! 

All that’s left is to raise as many funds as possible that will go directly toward impacting the lives of kids through ChildVoice! Will you join us?

With gratitude,

Nathan & Pam Mandsager
