Meet Our Current Life Child Champions
Peak with a Purpose: Mt. Fuji for Life Child
In September 2025, a team of Life Child Champions, including Anthony Liebenberg, Dale Narsi, Clency Ngary, Willy and Charis Lau, summited Mt. Fuji (3,776 m) to raise funds for orphaned and vulnerable children across Africa. The climb is done, but the mission continues as we work toward our R250,000 goal to bring hope and opportunity, one life at a time.
