What your support makes possible.

We don’t just fundraise — we transform lives. Every dollar raised through the Gala helps build schools, train teachers, and support children with everything they need to replace poverty with prosperity.

We’ve:

  • Bought land and built safe, high-quality classrooms that deliver education across 3 schools in 2 communities.

  • Given graduates a path to prosperity with support for University and Tertiary education

  • Provided meals, uniforms, and housing for students

  • Empowered communities to own and sustain their education systems

  • Deliver generational impact through education

  • And so much more…

Together, we can give children a life beyond poverty.

And have a great night doing it.
