Why trek with Human Appeal?

We’re veterans at this sort of thing. As part of the Human Appeal Family, you will receive the absolute best care and guidance. Our qualified and experienced guides will take you via a safe and supported route to the summit with checkpoints and first aid cover. There will also be a dedicated support team to advise and help you reach your sponsorship target, as well as a second team to help with training and gear advice.

We’ll be in touch in the lead up to your trek with plans, FAQs and anything you need to know about safety measures in place. If your trek is cancelled or postponed in 2022, we will give you the option to defer your place to a future suitable date.

Human Appeal has been helping supporters to sponsor orphans for 30 years. Currently, our supporters are sponsoring over 19,000 orphans across nine countries. We’ve witnessed how one sponsorship can change a whole future, and we’ve learnt to develop a programme that puts the child’s needs first. All our work is overseen by our child protection specialists, who ensure that children are never put at further risk.

In order to qualify for child sponsorship, an orphaned child must remain in school, which safeguards their right to an education and a future, and helps to give them the tools to support themselves once they become young adults in the world. Sponsoring an orphan is one of the most blessed and rewarding acts you can do. And it’s some of our most impactful and precious work, which we carry out with great care.
