Trek to one of the world’s greatest peaks.
Stand on the roof of Africa.
Help end the suffering of millions of people with neglected diseases.
OVERVIEW
A
s one of the world’s
great seven peaks,
Mount Kilimanjaro
has long been a goal for
adventurers worldwide.
The challenge of reaching the
19,341 ft (5,895 m) summit and
the exhilaration of standing on the
roof of Africa are unparalleled. Now,
you have the opportunity to embark
on this transformational adventure
of a lifetime, while simultaneously
helping to end the suffering of
millions of people with neglected
tropical diseases (NTDs).
The Summit to See the END will engage
dedicated visionaries, humanitarians, and business
entrepreneurs to join the hike of a lifetime, while
raising awareness and funds to treat neglected
tropical diseases. NTDs are a group of parasitic and
bacterial infections that cause long-term disability
and illness for over 1.6 billion of the poorest and
most vulnerable people across the globe. These
diseases can be treated by available, donated
medicines. Funds are needed for the delivery of
these medicines to people in need.
SUMMIT TO SEE THE END
MACHAME ROUTE
Of the five possible routes to the summit of
Mt. Kilimanjaro, the seven-day Machame route has
a 90% success rate with some of the most stunning
scenery of the mountain. The route offers excellent
acclimatization, with good opportunities to “walk
high, sleep low.”
Machame starts with an interesting and steep
approach from the southwest, ascending up to Shira
Plateau where it joins both the Lemosho and Shira
routes to the summit of Kilimanjaro. The route passes
through five diverse climatic zones with some of
the most beautiful views on Kilimanjaro, from the
expansive Shira Plateau, to Lava Tower, the Great
Barranco Wall and Kilimanjaro’s Southern Ice Field.
Though the Barranco Wall has a tricky rock outcrop,
expert guides will help every step of the way, and
hikers are sure to successfully reach the top of the
Wall and scale Karanga Valley where you will see the
Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers.
Hikers will sleep in tents at designated campsites.
The END Fund has made arrangements for all hikers
to stay at Barafu High Camp the night before the
final ascent to Uhuru Peak. By staying at Barafu High
Camp, the final ascent will be an hour shorter and
hikers will enjoy a peaceful trek to the summit.
Expert guides and porters will accompany the group up
the mountain. All guides have climbed Kilimanjaro at
least 100 times and are expertly trained in mountain
safety and first aid. Porters will carry all necessary
equipment, including hikers’ overnight bags. A cook
will prepare meals on the mountain which will be
served in a large dining tent at each campsite.

SUNDAY, JULY 10
NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES (NTD)
LEARNING DAY
end.org
FITNESS & TRAINING
Though climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro is a challenge that
you cannot approach without prior physical training,
the summit is achievable for most people. It is
important that you are both physically fit and mentally
prepared before attempting this challenge. While on
the mountain you will be walking at altitude for more
than six hours most days, and the summit is strenuous
and should not be underestimated.
Running, cycling and swimming are great aerobic fitness
training, but there is only really one thing that prepares
you for trekking, and that is walking.
Long distance walking, up and down hills, strengthens
your leg muscles and will prepare you for the Summit
to See the END challenge. Weekends spent walking
up your nearest hills will truly prepare you for the trek.
It is important to vary your aerobic regime so that you
remain motivated. Training should include a target
of being able to walk four to six hours a day while
carrying a 10-15lbs (7kg) day pack. It is important to
ensure you are used to walking with your backpack
and that it is correctly adjusted to
prevent rubbing and soreness.
You should start training for climbing Kilimanjaro at
least two months prior to your departure.
If you have never hiked before, you should start with
shorter time intervals, a slower pace, and no weight
(in your day pack) and then gradually increase all of
the above as your fitness level improves. Remember
that on Mount Kilimanjaro, you will walk slowly for
prolonged periods, and carry probably no more than
15 lbs in your day pack. Therefore, in your training,
SUMMIT TO SEE THE END
it is better to increase the time interval/distance and
keep a slow pace than to shorten the time interval/
distance and increase the pace.
Try to train three times a week, for at least one hour per
session, at a minimum.
If you can do day hikes for four to six hours, with
moderate elevation changes (~1,000 ft/305 m)
while carrying a 20 lb pack, or if you can walk on
a stairmaster for one to two hours, at 30 steps per
minute while carrying a 20 lb pack, then you’re
probably ready for the real thing.
Your longest/hardest workouts should be performed
two to four weeks before your departure. For the
last two weeks, you should taper off your training
and in the final days, rest so that your body has time
to recover before your actual climb. In addition to
walking/hiking, you can also supplement your training
with exercises such as running or cycling, which will
increase your aerobic capacity.
It is imperative that during Kilimanjaro training, you
wear the boots that you intend to climb with so that
they are sufficiently broken-in (to prevent blisters).
Additionally, you should wear the day pack you intend
to carry so your shoulders/back/hips get used to the
points of contact and weight (to minimize chafing
and soreness).
PREPARATION FOR HIGH ALTITUDE
Acute mountain sickness or “AMS” is a serious
medical condition brought on by traveling too quickly
to altitude, and/or performing physical exercise at
altitude when unacclimatized. Tolerance to altitude
varies greatly amongst individuals. A fit person will
not strain their cardiovascular system as much as an
unfit person for the same amount of exercise, and
therefore will be at a lower risk of developing AMS.
However, even a fit person is still very likely to develop
AMS if they attempt Kilimanjaro without some days
spent acclimatizing.
The Summit to See the END has organized a trek
that follows the rule that it is far safer (and more
enjoyable) to avoid altitude sickness by planning a
sensible itinerary that allows for gradual acclimatization
to altitude.
Getting your body in great shape through physical
training certainly helps prepare you for altitude.
However, the ability to adjust quickly to the changing
oxygen content is largely genetic. It is impossible to tell
how well a prospective climber may fare in an oxygen
deprived atmosphere until he or she is actually in it.
MEDICAL CHECK-UP
All climbers should have a medical consultation
prior to attempting the mountain. Ask your doctor
if high altitude trekking is permissible for your age,
fitness level and health condition, and if you have any
preexisting medical conditions that can cause problems
on the climb. Ask if any of your medications can
affect altitude acclimatization and whether Diamox, a
medicine that can help with altitude adjustment and
sickness, might be a good option for you.
FACT:
Uhuru Peak, Swahili for “Freedom,” was
named in 1961 when Tanganyika gained its
independence. Tanganyika later joined with
the islands of Zanzibar to form the Republic
of Tanzania.

CREATING THE EXPERIENCE
DETAILS
The END Fund’s Summit to See the End has
been reserved through Kandoo Adventures,
(www.kandooadventures.com) specialists in private,
tailor-made Mt. Kilimanjaro climbs. The END Fund
will work with the Kandoo Adventures team to
ensure each hiker’s needs are met.
NTD LEARNING DAY
The trip will also include an NTD learning day
which will be scheduled after the trek. This day will
include a visit to NTD control programs run by the
Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology
(KCCO), the largest ophthalmic research and
community eye care training center in Africa.
Kandoo Adventures only employs the best guides
and does not subcontract any of their operations. All
trips are supported by a crew of local people who
are experts on the mountain. Each of the guides is
licensed by Kilimanjaro National Park and climbs the
mountain frequently each year, speaks fluent English,
and has a team of assistant guides and camp staff
who work together on every climb. On all Kilimanjaro
trips, Kandoo Adventures keeps a ratio of three
clients to one guide so every climber receives personal
attention, support and encouragement.
A visit to KCCO may include:
• An overview of blinding trachoma and its impact
on local communities
• An information session about the World Health
Organization’s SAFE (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial
Cleanliness and Environmental Improvements)
strategy for controlling trachoma
• Seeing a trichiasis surgery
The END Fund will also coordinate with a crowdfunding platform, to provide dynamic team
fundraising so hikers can easily engage their network
of friends, family, colleagues and companies to raise
funds for NTDs as part of this unique challenge.
Please note, hikers must be a minimum of 12 years of age
The NTD learning day may also include a visit to a
WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) project to
illustrate the importance of clean water and access
to proper sanitation and hygiene in the control of
NTDs. WASH is integral for the control of trachoma,
intestinal worms and schistosomiasis.
OPTIONAL SAFARI DAYS
In addition to the trek and the NTD learning events,
there will be the opportunity for both hikers and
those accompanying the hikers to have a tailor
made safari.
A typical four-day Tanzanian Safari will include
trips to see the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and
the Ngorongoro Crater parks. The Tanzanian
safari will add a picturesque and tranquil end to
the Kilimanjaro trek featuring droves of gazelle,
wildebeest, zebra, giraffes, buffalo, elephants, lions
and incredible bird life.
A six-day Serengeti Safari will include trips to
the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and
the Ngorongoro Crater parks. Serengeti National
Park offers some of Africa’s most spectacular game
viewing—great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of
elephant and giraffe, as well as thousands of eland,
topi, hartebeest, impala and Grant’s gazelle.
The Serengeti safari can run either after or alongside
the Summit to See the END treks and is ideal for
families accompanying the hikers to Tanzania.

SUMMIT TO SEE THE END 2014 & 2015
Climbers have joined the Summit to See
the END from around the globe (Australia,
China, France, Germany, Hong Kong,
Switzerland, UAE, UK, and US) and of all
different ages (14 to 61), working together
to conquer the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Together, they demonstrated that indeed a
small group of dedicated individuals could
simultaneously reach new personal heights
and help combat NTDs.
FACT:
Tanzania is currently endemic for the
five NTDs that the END Fund is working
to control.
Like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa,
a large part of the population is at risk of
co-infection with two or more NTDs.
While everyone began the climb with different
personal motivations, each trekker took away
a commitment to each other, to those living
with NTDs, and to friends, family and colleagues
back home.
Standing on the roof of Africa, the climbers looked
out at their personal triumph of climbing all 19,341
ft. The trek was not only fun and rewarding, but also
challenging and educational. With big smiles and
tired legs, climbers felt bonded to one another in
their shared goal.
After summiting, the climbers spent the following day
learning about NTDs. Greeted by officials from the
Tanzanian Ministry of Health, they watched a sightsaving trachoma surgery and received WASH lessons,
all near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. Seeing the
transformative programs first-hand connected the
climbers to a common goal of a world without NTDs.
Join the 2014 and 2015 climbers, to be among an
incredible group that simultaneously conquered
personal goals while they raised funds and awareness
for the millions of people living with NTDs.

RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS
FOR THE NTDS WE STRIVE TO TREAT
NTD BURDEN IN AFRICA
NTDs are a group of parasitic and bacterial
infectious diseases that affect the world’s
most impoverished people, including an
estimated 800 million children. NTDs cause
pain, long-term disability, and can lead
to death.
Amongst children, infection leads to
malnutrition, cognitive impairment,
stunted growth, and the inability to
attend school. Adults suffer from social
isolation, are unable to work and the
anemia caused by NTDs increases the risk
of maternal mortality. Treating NTDs is
considered a ‘best buy’ in public health
and education resulting in development.
INTESTINAL WORMS: OVER 2.5 BILLION PEOPLE AT RISK
Intestinal worms, also known as soil transmitted helminths, infect over 1.4 billion people
worldwide, mostly children. The three most common worms are hookworm, ascaris
(roundworm), and trichuris (whipworm). They are transmitted by consumption of, or
contact with, contaminated water, food or soil.

Intestinal worms cause stunted growth, impaired cognitive function, limited
educational advancement, and reduced long-term economic productivity. Children
die every year from these worms as a result of intestinal obstructions.
LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS: OVER 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE AT RISK
Lymphatic filariasis (LF), which can lead to elephantiasis, is a mosquito-borne disease.
LF can cause permanent disability through extreme swelling of the limbs or genitals as
a result of thread-like parasitic worms that live in the lymphatic system. The negative
social and economic consequences of LF are immense, as the disease causes stigma,
social isolation, and loss of productivity.
SCHISTOSOMIASIS: OVER 230 MILLION PEOPLE AT RISK
2.5 Billion
Number of people at risk of
neglected tropical diseases
Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia or snail fever, is caused by a parasitic worm
that lives in freshwater snails. The parasite enters the skin of people who come in
contact with contaminated water. The worms live in the intestine or bladder, causing
symptoms including blood in the urine and impaired growth and development in
children. In severe cases, the infection leads to bladder cancer and kidney, liver, and
spleen malfunction. Schistosomiasis causes the highest mortality among these NTDs,
with more than 200,000 deaths per year in sub-Saharan Africa.
1.6 Billion
Number of people are currently
infected with at least 1 NTD
RIVER BLINDNESS: OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE AT RISK
500,000 +
Onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is a parasitic worm disease spread by the bite of
infected black flies. The disease causes extremely painful and debilitating itching, skin
lesions, and blindness. It is the world’s fourth leading cause of preventable blindness.

SUMMIT TO SEE THE END
BEST BUY IN PUBLIC HEALTH
NTDs cause suffering for hundreds of millions of people each year.
Just 50 cents per person per year funds the delivery of medicines to
treat the most common NTDs.
TRACHOMA: OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE AT RISK
Trachoma is a bacterial eye infection which, if untreated, causes the eyelashes to
turn inwards and scratch the cornea. This can lead to severe visual impairment and
irreversible blindness. Trachoma is passed from person to person through flies. It is
common in children under the age of five and in adults—mainly women—who care for
them. Trachoma is the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness.
BEST BUY IN EDUCATION
Studies show that NTD treatment is the single most cost-effective
means of improving children’s attendance and increasing capacity
to learn and concentrate in school.
