The family of L'Arche Kenya is proud to present one of her members Musa Kirokote, whose name has been written in the books of History as the first person with Intellectual and physical disability to have climbed Mt. Kenya by wheelchair. On 4th Sept 2019, on his first attempt to go up Mt. Kenya, Musa reached Mackinder's camp 4,300 metres above sea level in the company of 28 other members of L'Arche Kenya. Together with Musa, we also celebrate the 25 members of L'Arche Kenya who made it to Austrian Hut 4790 metres and 20 to point Lenana, the 3rd highest peak of Mt. Kenya. We thank the teams from Mt. Kenya porters and guides club, the Mt. Kenya KWS Rangers and Rescue team for accompanying us in the 3 day climb and all our friends for the support you accorded us in this endeavour.
