Lee Davies’ company, Awethentic Gallery, also works with a number of charities and non-profits, ranging from social impact to conservation, and donates 10% of every purchase made to charity.
In February, 2020, Project C:CHANGE partnered with a variety of changemakers from across the globe to raise funds for charity by successfully summiting Uhuru Peak—Mt Kilimanjaro’s peak, at 5985m above sea level. The 8-day charity climb took several months of preparation and raised over US$150,000 to protect and restore irreplaceable biodiversity and wildlife for the future.
