In its continued efforts at providing succour and relief to internally displaced people across the country, leading telecoms services provider, Airtel Nigeria, has announced the sponsorship of an initiative tagged ‘Climb with Remi,’ aimed at raising funds to care for internally displaced people (IDP) in Nigeria. Under the programme, a group of six passionate Nigerian women have decided to climb the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, as part of activities to attract global attention and raise funds in support of government’s efforts at improving the living conditions of displaced women and children in IDP camps across Nigeria.

Backed by Airtel Nigeria, the project is championed by Mrs. Remi Abere, the oldest Nigerian woman to reach the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. She is joined by other women including the wife of Ogun State governor, Mrs Funsho Amosu; former member, Federal House of representatives, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa; Mrs. Joke Olanipekun; Mrs. Uzo Nwani and Mrs. Debo Laditan.

This thread will show a daily update of activities of the volunteer climbers on their quest to conquer Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The Airtel Nigeria sponsored #ClimbWithRemi charity team made up of Six Women – led by Remi Abere have begun the climb which will last for close to 7 days, through frightful terrains to reach Kilimanjaro’s summit which rises to an altitude of more than 19,341 ft. above sea level. The epic charity adventure is to raise funds for women and children in the various camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) all over Nigeria.
