ABOUT THE CHARITIES:
OneMama.
One Mama ties Uganda's communities together through sustainable health, family, and financial education in order for its people to overcome poverty and thrive. By specifically supporting the midwives at the center of these communities, OneMama empowers women, raises awareness, and makes positive change. OneMama is the nurturer, the protector, and the source of life for those in need. OneMama’s mission is to bring prosperity and health to people all over the world by empowering women as caregivers, mothers, businesswomen and agents of change for their rural communities. We are all OneMama on OneMother earth. www.OneMama.org  

V-Day.
Violence against women and girls—in the family, in a relationship, at school, on the street, in the workplace, during war—still occurs regularly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East with impunity. V-Day works to end this violence by partnering directly with women’s organizations in these regions who are working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms—changing minds, changing laws, changing lives. V-Day’s Spotlight this year is the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) http://newsite.vday.org/drcongo 

The Emeruwa Music Foundation and its roster of corporate sponsors donate proceeds from their events to organizations that serve to enrich and enhance the lives of men, women, and children in Africa.

A Full Tilt Jam Band Experience. NKECHI has performed at venues such as Cafe DuNord, the Make Out Room, 12 Galaxies, Red Devil Lounge, the Make Out Room, El Rio, Hotel Utah, Rockit Room, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, and many more venues and festivals around the bay area and east coast. www.nkechi.com

NKECHI aka "Astral Soul Songstress" hosts and produces Alternative Live Music Shows and Events alongside an aggressive performance schedule for causes in which she believes. Her mission is to bring intuitive and creative live music productions into out-of-the-box environments as a tool to inspire, enhance, and bring creativity, consciousness, and connection to upscale parties all over the world.

"I thrive on creating live music in the moment which inspires a heightened perspective for worthy causes. Being that I myself am African, I wanted to focus this time around on bringing awareness to issues concerning women from Africa. From that thought OneMama and V-Day suddenly appeared as inspirational causes that are affecting change over there from here. Hence “ The Butterfly Effect” If one flap of a butterfly wing can make an impact on the other side of the globe, so can our little BIG party in the US make an impact on the continent of Africa.” NKECHI is collaborating with long term V-Day supporter and organizer Evone Garcia to create an evening to be more than remembered.
