Faces of Indego Africa: An Evening of Art & Social Enterprise

Faces of Indego Africa: An Evening of Art & Social Enterprise

On Thursday, March 26, 2009, more than 160 Indego Africa supporters turned out for a special photography exhibit, Faces of Indego Africa: An Evening of Art & Social Enterprise at The Soufer Gallery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

The collection of photographs – taken by Indego Africa’s Senior VP & General Counsel Benjamin Stone – capture the inspiring stories of the women and children who benefit from Indego Africa’s innovative approach to defeating poverty through access to export markets and long-term skills training.

Amazingly, Faces of Indego Africa raised $6,000, even though the suggested donation at the door was only $10! Just as they did at Indego Africa’s ibirori in December ,the Indego Africa’s supporters proved themselves hearty philanthropists, braving the rain to enjoy an evening of art, cocktails, networking and social awareness. The Soufer Gallery provided an amazing backdrop for supporters to take in the faces, images and personalities of those directly impacted by Indego Africa.

Indego Africa sells unique handicrafts made by its Rwandan partner cooperatives and returns 100% of the profits, thereby delivering to its partners a real stake in their own development. Indego Africa not only ensures a living wage of two to four times the national average, but its Rwandan team of instructors also provide training in key business skills like bookkeeping and information technology. All proceeds from Faces of Indego Africa went directly to these training programs. Stay tuned for Indego Africa’s next NYC event and tell your friends about events coming up in Washington DC and Chicago.
