A Ghanaian woman who was on a mission to climb Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about online safety finally made it.

The aim is also to create “awareness on the need to protect the vulnerable and give people especially children the confidence to use the internet without fear.”

Mount Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones namely the “Kibo”, “Mawenzi”, and “Shira”.
