In 2009 Janika Vaikjärv founded the Ladies' Trekking Club, which has evolved into an international trekking club that brings together thousands of women. The Impatiens Kilimanjari Foundation used to be a charity organisation which was run by the women who belong to the club.

Ladies' Trekking Club began to organise trips to Kilimanjaro for women while raising money and supporting the Msafiri English Medium Primary School so that they could buy school equipment. We spent a day at the school with the children and gave the money raised to the school each time after we had taken a trip to Kilimanjaro. From 2009-2011 we gave the school 4300 dollars. The initiative produced individual benefits for children who would not be able to go to school without our help. Most of the students at this school are orphans or children of single parents.
