Fundraising & Challenges

“If you don’t challenge yourself, you will never realise what you can become.”

Whether you are an individual, a school or a business, undertaking a fundraising event, activity or challenge on our behalf, can be an exciting way to challenge yourself, build your skills and achieve something extraordinary.  Your efforts can truly help young people across Africa, who lack both resources and opportunities, to have the confidence to believe in themselves and to better realise their potential. 

Take on an incredible challenge of your choice — whether it’s a marathon, cycling event, or endurance walk — all while supporting our life-changing work.  

  • We partner with some of the most exciting events across the country. Many events sell out fast, but by fundraising for us, you could secure a place! Get in touch to find out about available spots and the support we can offer.  
  • If you’ve already secured your place in an event and want to fundraise for us, get in touch! We can offer some great resources, promotion and support.

  • Accenture Kilimanjaro Climbs

    Accenture Kilimanjaro Climbs

    Teams from Accenture have completed 3 hugely challenging and exciting climbs up Kilimanjaro to raise funds for BecomingX Foundation. 

    Kilimanjaro is one of the famed seven summits, being the highest mountain in Africa. Its Uhuru peak towers at an impressive 5,895 meters and reaching the top was an epic challenge for our Accenture expedition teams.  

    The experiences and memories they have taken away will have been personally life-changing. The funds they raised have also been life-changing - they have been instrumental in setting up our educational resources and programmes in Kenya, helping to inspire, equip and enable young people in Africa.

  • Afshin Ahmadian: Ambition One Million
