Why this gala
Founder & CEO, The Sparkle Foundation · Malawi
A single visit to Malawi changed the course of her life. That visit became a mission that has transformed over 30,000 lives through education, nutrition, healthcare and community empowerment.
Founder, Harmony House · India
Thousands of miles away, a commitment to one community grew into Harmony House, now giving over a thousand children the safety, care and education to dream beyond their circumstances.
They spent years proving what's possible on opposite sides of the world, without ever meeting. On this evening, those journeys become one.

In India, funds will help Harmony House sponsor more children and women in Gurgaon through its core programmes: education, nutrition, medical care, skills training, special needs support and women's empowerment.
Every child deserves someone who believes in them. On 14th November, that someone can be you.
