IT TAKES A VILLAGE…

We need your help.

Gather your friends for a night to remember.

Dianna & Jess share a love of Africa, an intimate connection to this great continent, and a passion for empowering vulnerable young women. Both have seen first hand the disparity in opportunity available to women in Africa.

To support our sisters in Tanzania, they’ve teamed up to host Nina Imani’s very first gala fundraising dinner - and they’d love for YOU to be part of this exciting inaugural celebration!

Our goal?
Fill a room with 55 incredible people!

If you’re up for the challenge of gathering a fun group of friends for a fantastic evening filled with delicious food, Afrobeats, and a great cause - you’re welcome!

Nina Imani provides crucial funding and governance support for the Inuka Tusonge vocational centre for vulnerable young women in Tanzania.

The centre is run by a dedicated local team of role models and mentors, providing culturally appropriate skills-based training in tailoring, cooking/baking, hairdressing/beauty, and vegetable cultivation.

The empowerment and development of individual capabilities in vulnerable girls and young women is at the core of the work we support.

Women who are empowered through the fostering of employability skills and paid work are more likely to become positive role-models and advocates for their families and communities, especially on issues of health and well-being, gender inequalities and human rights.
