Celebrating the Madiba Centenary Legacy through bringing 100 girls a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand their world!
In celebration of Madiba’s centenary year, the Imbumba Foundation has in honour of Mandela launched a joint initiative with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, taking Trek4Mandela beyond Africa and Kilimanjaro.
We are proud to introduce the TREK100 concept which was officially was launched in September 2018, which is Tourism and Culture month in South Africa. 100 young South African girls from disadvantaged urban and rural backgrounds, (who have never been out of their own villages), will be chosen – to take part in the first of its kind and once in a lifetime experience.
TREK100 is an epic 7 continents challenge which will build on the success of Trek4Mandela with an exciting global development designed to capture the imagination of a nation with a programme of aspiration and achievement. 100 young South Africans girls from disadvantaged urban and rural backgrounds, will be chosen to undertake one of 7 challenges on the 7 continents, along with specially invited trekkers. Sponsoring companies will be invited to support this initiative with a range of opportunities from sponsorship of the young trekkers to sending representatives to trek with them.

Partnerships for reaching the SDG’s in terms of inclusiveness and participating as global citizens
The programme components are designed to help participants understand themselves and their impact on others better.
It is intended to have participants face true life situations and challenges that will enable each of them to bring a new and enhanced leadership skill-set back into their community and their personal lives.
They will progressively build up their understanding of leadership and the process will drive their growth as future leader to their maximum potential.
For each continent there will be a specific set of challenges. All will require the participants to travel, learn, inspire and overcome.
Each challenge will require different levels of physical ability as not everyone is super-fit or possessed of natural talent. However, each challenge has specific trials that will test the human spirit to the limit.
