Traveling Along the Merano Highway - A Charitable Journey
A dedicated hiking group has recently completed a challenging tour over the Merano High Trail, transforming the adventure into a charitable event that raised over 1,900 Euros for the KAB health project in Nigeria.
The group, active for decades, had set a goal to raise at least 1,000 Euros for the project, which aims to support a medical team in visiting, examining, and vaccinating children in a Nigerian village four times a year. The hike, which involved a total of 95.7 kilometers and approximately 5,000 meters of altitude gain and loss, saw each stage cover approximately 260,000 steps.
Each participant consumed an average of 3 to 4 liters of fluid during the hike, navigating the rugged terrain with determination and resilience. The group expressed their gratitude for the support, thoughts, and encouragement received throughout the tour.
Donors could sponsor hikers at a rate of 0.10 Euro per kilometer, with a minimum donation of 10 Euros. The first 10 donors' sums were doubled by each participant, adding an extra boost to the fundraising efforts.
The donation account for the project is under the Catholic Workers' Association St. Marien with IBAN: DE17 3705 0299 0311 0017 98.
The hiking group, who exceeded their expectations with the amount raised, is now looking forward to future adventures while continuing to support worthy causes.

In their pursuit of supporting the KAB health project in Nigeria, the group decided to blend their passion for hiking with charitable endeavors, choosing the Merano High Trail for their adventure. Additionally, they combined their physical endeavors with raising awareness about science, health-and-wellness, and fitness-and-exercise, raising over 1,900 Euros for the project.
