Sharjah Capability Development Foundation launched the “Towards the Peaks” programme to enable youth to climb mountain peaks in three stages the organisation reported. The stages begin with a local peak then move to an Arab peak before concluding with a global peak. Thirteen out of 14 participants reached the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro which stands 5,895 metres above sea level after receiving intensive training in mountain climbing and adaptation to different heights and terrains according to the foundation.
The programme focuses on enhancing skills such as teamwork persistence perseverance mental and physical flexibility and resilience a foundation assessment found. Participants who completed the Kilimanjaro ascent expressed pride in their accomplishment. They noted the journey proved challenging yet helped build self-confidence and provided opportunities to acquire new skills with trainers and supervisors delivering guidance and inspiration throughout.
