our donation focus for this event is rēp and under the baobab tree

rēp
rēp is a line of business of a US-based consulting organization whose mission is to “repurpose” existing businesses to impact the communities in which they reside both spiritually and socio-economically. rēp runs business transformation Ventures in South Africa (Cape Town and Johannesburg), India (Chennai), Indonesia (Jakarta), and other locations around the world. The impact of transformed client businesses is often profound, but is as varied as the businesses are individual. rēp also has a Community Track, which seeks to transform communities by launching reproducible small businesses and teaching essential skills in emerging economies. The community track currently focuses on providing low-cost housing for the extremely poor in rural India. http://repurposing.biz

under the baobab tree
Under the boab tree's mission is to develop a completely sustainable community in one of the world’s most impoverished regions. Education is the first step to teaching the children of the community how to read, write, eat, and develop a sustainable economy and ecology. http://www.underthebaobabtree.org

Bay Area Acoustic Soul Songstress NKECHI, Evone Garcia, and Radio Africa & Kitchen present
"VOL 1 :: THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT Fundraiser Party" on Wednesday April 1st, 5pm - 12am at
Project One SF Gallery & Lounge. "The Butterfly Effect Fundraiser Party" is a soulfully artistic and fashionable, art, fashion, food, dj and live music event created by NKECHI to raise funds for charities that benefit men, women, and children in Africa.

The charity focus for this party is VDay.org and OneMama.org.

V-Day's Spotlight this year is the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource, Power to Women and Girls in the DRC.  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. http://newsite.vday.org/drcongo

OneMama. We are all OneMama on OneMother earth. 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. http://www.OneMama.org

NKECHI is collaborating with long term V-Day supporter and organizer Evone Garcia and Chef Eskender Aseged, founder of Radio Africa & Kitchen, a nomadic African restaurant with sustainable products, methods, and yummy food to create an evening to be more than remembered.
