Kapua raises funds to help people in developing countries by climbing mountains. Since 2006, Kapua has collected 1,3 million euros to support people and the environment in developing countries. The funds are reliably channelled to the destination through well-known Finnish organisations. Kapua has worked with many organisations, such as Family Federation, Save the Children Finland, Plan, and WWF Finland.

Kapua has given over 300 Finnish people the opportunity to participate in international development cooperation. Kapua volunteers are ordinary people with the desire to help and challenge their own boundaries. All candidates go through an application process. A group of 20 people raises funds for a chosen cause. The group travels to the destination country and has an opportunity to see how the funds are spent. During the trip, they challenge themselves by climbing a mountain.

For the participants, Kapua is an unforgettable experience, a ”Once in a Lifetime” trip. For non-profit organizations, Kapua is an effective fundraising tool and a channel to highlight the important development work done in the target countries. The main beneficiaries are, however, the people in developing countries.
