Project Zero hosts 'Adventure Kilimanjaro' fundraiser for veterans in recovery expedition

HOUSTON - Local non-profit Project Zero is inviting the community to come out and support their boldest trip yet: Adventure Kilimanjaro!

What is ‘Adventure Kilimanjaro’?

Adventure Kilimanjaro is part of Project Zero’s Adventure Therapy program, which mixes outdoor experiences with recovery support.

The organization is hosting a small group of veterans for some outdoor therapy as they hike Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2025.

According to Veterans Affairs, being in nature can help reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
