COURIER PROGRAM Carry Clothing to Tanzania The Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) is in great need of people and companies who are coming to climb Kili who would be willing to act as couriers by transporting some of our clothing.  Our equipment, donated by manufacturers, ski schools, and individuals, is available for climbers and tour operators to borrow to outfit their porters. The airlines from the U.S. presently allow a passenger to carry 2 pieces of luggage at 50 pounds each when traveling directly to Africa.  If you suspect that you will be under the weight limit and would like to assist us, we would send you one of our duffel bags filled with donated clothing.  As KPAP is a nonprofit organization, we are asking your consideration to pay for the shipping charges as a tax deductible donation.  Average cost is $50 to $70.  Our clothing is stored in Boulder, CO and Seattle, WA.  The clothing will be delivered to you if you are departing from these areas.  A letter will also be emailed to you that will assist you with customs.  One month’s notice prior to your departure is appreciated. Please email us if you are interested in participating, or if you know of anyone who can help. Donate Clothing for the Porters For our clothing collection we need water and wind resistant jackets and pants, rain ponchos, wool socks, hiking shoes, wool or warm hats (no baseball hats), gloves, sunglasses, and fleece jackets. Clean, good-condition gear only please.  Synthetic/wool clothes only, no cotton.  No jeans or T-shirts please. We also need sleeping bags and airplane-sized duffel bags for transporting the gear donation overseas.
