Sparkle Gala Dinner UAE 2022

We have some exciting news! We are hosting our first fundraiser since becoming a registered charity in the UAE through YallaGive. See how you can get involved!

The first annual Sparkle Gala Dinner will take place on Friday October 7, 2022. This invite-only event will bring together 350 people from our wide network of corporate and individual supporters to celebrate our first year as an official charity in the UAE, and to raise money to help create brighter futures for vulnerable children and communities in Malawi.

Even though the event will take place in the UAE, you can still get involved from anywhere in the world. Here’s how…

About the Gala


At the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, Malawi was identified as one of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa expected to experience an unprecedented fuel, financial and food crisis in the next two years. With headline inflation rates nearing 25% putting significant pressure on local operations, fundraising is imperative to ensure we can support as many children as possible.


This fundraiser will be a brilliant night full of entertainment and Sparkle. Guests will take a journey through the history and development of The Sparkle Foundation and hear directly from our very own Country Director, Mwayi, who’s travelling all the way from our site in Malawi to be there. There will be talented singers and musicians, a live painter, mouth-watering dinner and event-exclusive live auction.
