Self Help Africa invites you to an unforgettable evening at Pier Sixty, where community, compassion, and purpose converge. The New York Change-Makers Ball is a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit that is transforming lives across rural Africa.

Evening Highlights:

• Open Bar Reception

• Gourmet Three-Course Dinner

• Live Auction with Renowned Auctioneer Patrick Tully

Special Project Spotlight:

RISE – Resilient Initiatives for Sustainable Enterprise in Malawi

This year, proceeds from the Ball will help fund our special appeal in Malawi. Following catastrophic drought and the devastating Cyclone Freddy, families are working hard to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. Through RISE, we are providing access to clean water, renewable energy, business training, microfinance, seeds, and tools to over 72,000 households.

Your support will help:

• Rehabilitate water boreholes for schools and communities

• Distribute energy-saving cookstoves and train local entrepreneurs

• Establish village savings and loan groups

• Create mini-electric grids to power schools and enterprises

• Reforest degraded land and restore food production systems

Together, we can restore hope, resilience, and opportunity to communities determined to rise.

Your Impact:

Every ticket, donation, and bid is an investment in sustainable development. Your participation helps create jobs, fight hunger, and build resilience for generations to come.
