Africa was the winner again this year when a crowd of over 500 people gathered for the annual Change-Maker\u2019s gala ball, to support Self Help Africa\u2019s work with rural entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

“It was a record-breaking night for us, in terms of funds raised to support our programs,” said Self Help Africa\u2019s Ray Jordan. \u201cIt\u2019s a really fun event but the key is that it’s a night where we’re building success in Africa. The proceeds from one evening in New York are used to help develop small businesses, increase profits in existing small businesses and ultimately lift people out of poverty permanently.”<\/p>\n
