In efforts to raise public awareness in Africa on the catastrophic and humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons, and the damaging effects of uranium mining, K-Project for Peace acknowledges that advocacy through community mobilization and public education is imperative. For this, K- Project for Peace has scheduled the following activities between January- July 2015.
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro
K- Project for Peace aims at raising national and international visibility by teaming up with fellow activists to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro on 30th June-4th July 2015. The climbing of the mountain is symbolic to the fact that even though eliminating nuclear weapons is a tall order, it is possible to do it in our generation! K- Project for Peace will hold a pre-climbing conference and workshop at the foot of the mountain before the climb, and a press conference at the end of the climb to submit the K- Project for Peace Declaration in support of global nuclear ban treaty and an Africa free of uranium mining.
