“…We believe, at Mount Kilimanjaro First Aid Community Programme that education is critical for development as we set out to equip the younger generation with the skills and knowledge to support themselves for the challenges they face ahead both here in the UK and within Africa. Our key focus is based around empowering communities and individuals to take on an active role in bringing about positive change trough sustainable educations and through the process of developing and sharing new transferable skill. Our motto is to inspire educate, empower sustain by investing in young people where ever they live, we aim to breaking down racial barriers and provide life saving skills. Most importantly though, through the power of education we aim to help alleviate poverty and want people to know we do believe in them. As we aim to include not exclude them in the process of developing sustainable programmes from the offset; sharing creative ideas together to the implementation of these ideas, we  will help provide educational resources as a supporting hand to get them started, or in order to make sustainable and positive chances in their own lives …” Christina Wren (2010).
