Current Fundraising Project

Have you ever dreamed of climbing Africa’s tallest mountain? Are you interested in seeing Africa's most iconic animals in their native habitats? Do you believe that every child should have access to medical and dental care?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we invite you to participate in Rift Valley Children’s Village first ever “Summit for Health” fundraiser to help RVCV build a much needed health center.

Not only will you have the opportunity to climb one of the world’s Seven Summits (at 19,340 ft), but you will also contribute to the building of a health center that will help provide important medical and dental services for the children and staff of Rift Valley Children’s Village.

Please visit Summit for Health's website to learn more about this project, register for the climb, or to make a donation towards the new health clinic.  More information can also be found under the How You Can Help tab on the left panel. 

A special thank you to Dr. Teresa Castner, a former volunteer at RVCV, for organizing Summit for Health!
