£150 to register. £2,400 to raise. A summit you’ll remember for the rest of your life — and a child whose life is changed because you climbed.
Yes, I'm climbingToubkal is a serious mountain. 4,167m. 38km of trail. Thin air. Long days.
You don’t talk yourself up it. You walk. Step after step, across some of the most beautiful country in North Africa, in a group of people who decided to do the thing instead of dreaming about it.
The reward is a summit you’ll never forget. The reason is the child on the other side of your fundraising — the one who eats, learns and sleeps safe because of what you chose to do.
60 children with a month of sponsorship
10 orphans with six months of sponsorship
5 children with a year of sponsorship
You’ll be met at Marrakech Airport and transferred to Imlil, the mountain town at the foot of Toubkal. Meet your team, get your briefing for the days ahead, and settle in over dinner and hot tea.
Early breakfast. Last-minute kit checks. The trek begins with a short ride through the orchards out of Imlil. The valley falls away behind you. You stop for lunch high above the river, then climb steeply up the valley for the rest of the afternoon, taking in the views before arriving at your lodge for the night.
The biggest day. You’ll set off early to climb to the peak of Jebel Toubkal — at 4,167m, the highest point in North Africa. The final ascent is steep and may involve some scrambling. The reward is a view across the Atlas Range you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life. After summit photos, you descend back to the lodge, then continue down to Sidi Chamarouch for lunch and on to your riad in Imlil. Dinner with your team. Time for it to sink in.
Breakfast, pack up, and your driver transfers you to Marrakech Airport. If you’d rather stay in Morocco a little longer, we can arrange a drop-off at the Marrakech bus station instead.

Despite immense challenges, our work continues. Our orphan sponsorship programme now reaches more than 54,000 children across 15 countries, including over 29,000 children in Gaza. Children must be enrolled in school to qualify for the programme.
We also continue supporting young people through education, with 682 sponsored students currently pursuing higher education as they work towards brighter futures for themselves and their families. By supporting the Orphan Sponsorship Appeal, you help provide food, shelter, healthcare and hope.
• £40 provides an orphaned child with food, shelter and healthcare for an entire month.
• £480 sponsors an orphan for the entire year, providing food, shelter and healthcare.
“I and the one who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this” — and he held his index and middle fingers together. [Sahih Bukhari]
Don’t dream of change. Make it happen.
Donate nowNo technical climbing experience is required, but at 4,167m this is a high-altitude trek over 38km — a good level of fitness and training are essential. Full guidance and a kit list are provided after registration.
The £150 registration fee secures your place, and includes flights. Any other separate costs are detailed at the pre-departure webinar and at registration.
The £150 registration fee is non-refundable. All funds raised go directly to the Human Appeal Gaza Orphan Appeal.
Participants must meet the trek operator’s age and fitness requirements. Full details are provided on registration.
100% of funds raised support Human Appeal’s Gaza Orphan Appeal — providing displaced and orphaned children with food, shelter, healthcare and hope through our sponsorship programme.
£2,400 goes a long way for orphaned children — £40 provides one child with food, shelter and healthcare for a month, and £480 sponsors an orphan for an entire year. Your target could fund a year of sponsorship for 5 children, or over 60 children with a month of sponsorship.
The summit is waiting. The world's children are waiting too. Walk for them.
