AMREF UK's Vibrant Africa Gala - coming soon!
The weeks are fast approaching to AMREF UK's Vibrant Africa Gala, being held at the National History Museum, London on 13th May 2010.
The theme for this event is modern, vibrant Africa and all money raised on the night will go towards AMREF's lifesaving maternal health work.
The statistics are alarming - in Africa, 1 mother in 16 dies in childbirth, whilst in Europe it is 1 mother in 30,000. This is the biggest health inequality in the world today. AMREF's pledge is to ensure that no mother dies from a preventable cause; that every mother has access to affordable health care for herself and her baby.
Our fantastic Committee of volunteers have put together an exciting event complete with celebrity support from Jon Snow and John Culshaw. There will be both a silent and live auction with the chance to bid for some extraordinary lots, as well as uplifting entertainment from world-renowned musician, Seckou Keita.
To find out about attendance or to see the full auction lots on offer, please email events@amrefuk.org or call Julia on 0207 269 5528
