Hi Friends,
Thank you for supporting the #JustClimb initiative!
ALL FUNDS RAISED ON THIS PLATFORM GO DIRECTLY TO THE DLALA NJE FOUNDATION!
Dlala Nje, a Zulu phrase meaning “just play,” is an NGO based in the heart of Hilbrow, Johannesburg, South Africa. Dlala Nje aims to challenge perceptions and to create opportunities. They do this through running inner-city immersions and experiences in some of our city’s most misunderstood areas. These immersions and walks have allowed them to build and run a children and teen community centre aimed at providing a safe learning environment for the underprivileged kids in the area.
The community centres provide these children and teens with an opportunity to grow and learn, an opportunity to obtain skills for a better future. Dlala Nje aims to expose them to as many programmes, initiatives and experiences as possible. Dlala Nje provides a safe place where these kids and young adults are able to figure out their own unique dreams and immense potential.
Dlala Nje holds a space for these children to DREAM BIG, to keep climbing towards their bold dreams, to believe in themselves and what they are capable of!
Help us make an impact and be a part of the journey by donating to the ever so deserving Dlala Nje Foundation!!

The #JustClimb initiative was founded by Remy Kloos in 2018, her message below:
Nothing quite hits my soul, the deepest part of me, in the same way as the Mountains do. Reaching that formidable peak, I am always moved with a deep feeling self-acceptance. The Mountains showed me light when all I could see was overwhelming darkness. Their unconditional love empowers me to truly live a freer life, their innate wisdom guides me to be the best version of me I could possibly be.Â
Climbing mountains changed my whole life. IÂ watched myself accomplish feats that I previously thought impossible but true transformation began the moment I started believing in myself, my worth and what I was capable of!
I know with certainty we are all fighters; we have all overcome different forms of adversity and challenges. Each with our own unique stories to share and we must never underestimate the valuable difference we can make in every life we touch, big and small, for the impact we make today has a powerful rippling effect.
On the 15th and 16th of May 2022, Remy became the first South African to summit Mt Everest and Mt Lhotse back-to-back within 24 hours, and the first South African woman to summit Mt Lhotse. She has one remaining summit on her 7 summit quest.
Â
**Thank you to Gaby Nel for raising R5000 for the #JustClimb initiative in September and October 2022 during her Everest attempt.
