Chamonix Adventure Challenge
The PATRIZIA Foundation is excited to announce the return of its beloved Hiking Challenge for the fourth consecutive year. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Chamonix, France, in the vibrant heart of Europe, this year’s event will unfold from September 15th to 18th, 2024. In a refreshing twist, the challenge will kick off with a day of cycling, followed by two days dedicated to hiking. This year, we anticipate 120 participants from PATRIZIA, including both staff and sponsors, who will engage in fundraising efforts.
The #patriziachallenge has been a resounding success, raising more than €360,000 in the last three years for vital projects in Uganda, Tanzania, and Peru, thanks to the unwavering support of our sponsors and advocates.
For 2024, we’ve set an ambitious target: raising €200,000 to support the PATRIZIA School Bafia in the heart of Cameroon. Together, we can make a difference!
Our goal: €200,000
for the bright young minds at the PATRIZIA School Bafia in Cameroon.
Every penny brings us closer to our goal and 100% of all funds raised go towards our project.
So, let’s do this—for their brighter futures!
Our PATRIZIA School Bafia
The PATRIZIA School Bafia in Cameroon shines as a symbol of hope, championing the cause for self-reliance and unity among its diverse community of Christian, Muslim, and bilingual English and French speakers. With its recent facelift and expansion, the school is set to enrich the lives of over 900 children each year. In Cameroon, where only 67% of kids finish primary school, this institution stands out by focusing on the inclusion of children with cognitive challenges linked to prenatal drug exposure. It’s all about giving every child the shot at a future they deserve.
The new construction
Despite the challenges, the school is a hub of excellent learning. The PATRIZIA Foundation plans to transform the school into a beacon of education for the region as an innovative learning model. With the support of the #patriziachallenge, the existing building will be completely renovated from top to bottom. A new annex will wrap around the playground, creating a secure and safe place for fun.
Also adding new sanitary facilities, a library and a tech-filled computer lab to the school’s complex. Plus, digging a well for fresh water and setting up a solar system to provide a reliable source of electricity.
Through the support of the #patriziachallenge, along with your generous sponsorships and donations, we’re making education sustainable and accessible for all!

Lake District Challenge 2021
Started as a volunteering project by four PATRIZIA employees, the Hiking Challenge 2021 was launched. Over €100,000 have been raised during the hike over the 24 peaks of the Lake District National Park in northern England, which benefited PATRIZIA School Buyamba in Uganda. Thanks to this support, a rainwater collection system was integrated, additional classrooms were built and other rooms refurbished, and the school was able to reopen after the coronavirus pandemic.
