Our commitment to the environment extends
beyond our climbing walls.
Our Forest Restoration

rejuvenate forest ecosystems, ensuring they thrive
for generations to come.

Training Programs

We are committed to providing comprehensive
education and training programs for climbers of all
skill levels. Our goal is to foster a deep understanding
of climbing techniques, safety protocols, and the
physical and mental benefits of the sport.

Collaborations and
Partnerships

At Yago Bouldering, we believe in the transformative power of climbing. That’s why we’ve partnered
with two incredible organizations to make a positive impact:

1. Pamoja: A local NGO committed to community development. Together, we’re fostering inclusivity and
providing climbing opportunities for all.

2. Climb for Human Rights: Based in Barcelona, this association uses climbing as a tool for social change,
education, and human development. Our collaboration aims to empower individuals and create a more
equitable world.

Join us on this exciting journey as we climb toward a
better future!

Support Yago Bouldering
and Empower Young
Climbers

Dear Generous Supporters,


We're group of climbing volunteers from Yago Bouldering
CBO. We currently work with 2 secondary schools and 3
primary schools, each with 20 members in their climbing
club. A number of other local schools would like to join,
but we are at full capacity.


We have 5 instructors, all working on an entirely voluntary
basis, and often providing drinks and snacks for the kids
out of their own pockets.


If we had the resources to pay the instructors for their time
we would be able to run more sessions, as they would be
able to take time away from their day jobs and still provide
for their families.

Here there’s a list of the items and aproximate cost
of the things we need.

Will you help us make this possible?

See next page

2000 KES / 15 Euros provides drinks and some snacks for a
group of 20 kids


25,000 KES / £150 buys a new bouldering crashmat


Donating Equipment

We are in need of more:

Bouldering mats (in any condition - refoaming is possible here)

Climbing shoes (in good condition please - resoling with sticky
rubber is tricky in Kenya)

Chalk Bags

Karabiners

Nuts/Cams/Hexes

Harnesses

Slings

Ropes

Video Camera/Cam for video taking/photography

Safety helmets (available here in Kenya)

Logistical means of movement to climbing sites

Safety tools for clean up

Tree seedlings for schools and climbing sites


You can make your donations through Paypal

Equipment Hire

If you’re a boulderer travelling without your equipment then we
have a selection of shoes (including some high-performance
ones), crashmats and chalk bags available for you to borrow in
exchange for a donation.


Or why not bring your own pads and leave them with us!
Crash mats are awkward bulky things to travel with, so why
not just carry them one way


Thank you once again for your great work and support.


Best regards,

Vincent, Yago Bouldering CBO Director
