Part of the proceeds from the event will be used to support the “Slum to School” charity, a volunteer driven social development organization operating in Africa whose vision is to transform the society by empowering disadvantaged children in slums to realize their full potential through the provision of educational scholarships, health support and other psycho-social support.
