Jessica Biel to climb Mt Kilimanjaro for charity

Actress Jessica Biel will join her boyfriend Justin Timberlake to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money for donations.

"This is a basic human requirement that needs to be addressed now. I want to help any way I can in order to raise responsiveness toward the life-threatening clean water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world," said the actress.

The actress has joined the team of celebrities recruited by Ethiopian-born singer Kenna to scale the 5,895-metre African peak as part of a fundraising and awareness effort for the worldwide water crisis.

She admits she only signed up for the trek after getting to know that more than a billion people in the world have no access to clean water.
