Congratulations to Lorraine and the other members of the Kili Challenge 2024 who summited Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro 🗻, this morning. Lorraine Peramaul, an Environmental Specialist in AngloGold Ashanti’s Johannesburg office, and her fellow climbers reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania as part on the Geita Gold Mine Kilimanjaro Challenge. “Summited Mount Kilimanjaro at 7am after a grueling seven-hour climb. Was a hard steep icy climb. Happy to have reached the roof of Africa💥,” said Lorraine in a message. The climbers reached the Uhuru Peak (5,895m) and will then walk back to Barafu camp from the summit, taking about three hours. There they will have a well-earned short rest and collect their gear before heading down to Mweka hut (3100m). The route is not difficult and will take them down a rock and scree path into the moorland and eventually into the forest. Lorraine is sponsored by AngloGold Ashanti with a portion of the sponsorship going to GGM Kilimanjaro Challenge Against HIV & AIDS Trust. The Trust, together with key stakeholders including the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), has supported more than 100 projects across Tanzania since it was founded in 2002. Whether you are a seasoned climber, or someone fit enough and who has the mental and physical stamina to summit Kilimanjaro, or a mountain biker who wants to complete a route at the base of the mountain, take a look at our website https://lnkd.in/d-9k5PME and consider registering for the 2025 challenge. #KiliChallenge2024

The Kili Challenge 2024 Continues Over the weekend and into Monday AngloGold Ashanti’s Lorraine Peramaul, an Environmental Specialist in our Johannesburg office, and her fellow climbers on the Geita Gold Mine Kilimanjaro Challenge progressed from the Machame Camp at an altitude of 2,980m through moorland habitat then into a river gorge, enjoying dinner and a well-earned rest in their tents at the Shira Camp (3,840m). On Sunday the team left the Shira Plateau to climb through a semi-desert environment towards the “sharks tooth” lava tower and then up to the base of the Arrow Glacier at 4,630m before descending to the Barranco Camp at 3,950m for the night. On Monday they reached the Karanga camp after a six-hour climb. “It was tough, with lots of steep rock climbing,” Lorraine said.

The Trust, together with key stakeholders including the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), has supported more than 100 projects across Tanzania since it was founded in 2002.

The Kili Challenge 2024 Adventure Is Starting 🗻🚴 AngloGold Ashanti’s Lorraine Perumaul, an Environmental Specialist in our Johannesburg office, will put her training into practice from today, 19 July, as she starts climbing Mt Kilimanjaro after arriving in the town of Moshi in northern Tanzania yesterday. Lorraine is participating in the Geita Gold Mine Kilimanjaro Challenge, which raises money for the GGM Kilimanjaro Challenge Against HIV & AIDS Trust. She is sponsored by AngloGold Ashanti and a portion of the sponsorship will go to the Trust, which together with key stakeholders, including the Tanzania Commission for AIDS, has supported more than 100 projects across Tanzania since it was founded in 2002. Lorraine and her fellow climbers are taking the Machame route which has the highest summiting success rate and is the Kili Challenge’s favourite climbing route. The climbers will start the trek on the south-western side of the mountain and from there, the route will start to steepen as they climb northwards, traversing the Shira Plateau and eventually reaching the Uhuru peak summit. Today the climbers will hike 18 km through the Montane rain forest from the Machame Gate at an altitude of 1,490m to the Machame Camp at 2,980m. The hike will take about seven hours.

Geita Gold Mining Limited, a subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti in collaboration with the African Inland Church of Tanzania and the Vine Trust of Scotland have partnered to implement the Jubilee Medical Boat project which was launched in February 2015. The Jubilee Medical Boat Project aims to bridge the healthcare gap, ensuring that even the most marginalized communities receive the care they deserve. We are thrilled to announce the addition of a new #medicalboat for marginalized communities in islands along the shores of Lake Victoria. The medical boat - set to begin operations upon signing of an #MoU, is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities and staffed by dedicated healthcare professional volunteers ready to provide essential medical services to those in remote areas. From primary healthcare services, maternal health care, voluntary #HIVAIDS testing and treatment, immunization, dentistry and general basic health education which are all provided free of charge, this boat will bring much-needed medical care to communities that have limited access to healthcare facilities. In 2017, more than 55,000 people were treated on the boat, marking an important milestone in the history of the humanitarian project and to date, more than 158,000 patients have been treated since the inception of the project. This initiative exemplifies the power of collaboration and the impact of collective efforts to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life. #Sustainability #SustainableMining #HealthcareForAll #CommunitySupport #JubileeMedicalBoat #GGML #WorldGoldCouncil #VineTrust #LakeVictoria #BridgingHealthGaps #TogetherWeCan #HopeAndHealth

The Kili Challenge 2024 Adventure Awaits 🗻🚴 As AngloGold Ashanti’s Lorraine Perumaul, an Environmental Specialist in our Johannesburg office, continues her preparation for the GGML Kilimanjaro Challenge we asked about her about her training for the climb. -You told us that you dedicate at least eight hours per week to your training. Do you feel ready for the challenge? I’m in good physical condition – I have trained consistently and diligently over the last five months. Although I have had to adjust my mindset to embrace the ‘Pole, Pole’ (slowly, slowly) approach, the additional training has improved my running – which is a huge gain for me as I plan to continue with this newfound training regime well after the climb.   -When will you be heading off to Tanzania? I’ll be flying from Johannesburg to Dar Es Salaam on July 17th , and then from Dar Es Salaam to Arusha airport on the 18th July.    Lorraine is sponsored by AngloGold Ashanti with a portion of the sponsorship going to GGM Kilimanjaro Challenge Against HIV & AIDS Trust. The Trust, together with key stakeholders including the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), has supported more than 100 projects across Tanzania since it was founded in 2002.
