Africa Calls
Dignity Zambia Stage 3 Build Fundraiser & Book Launch
Join us for Africa Calls, a meaningful evening dedicated to supporting Stage 3 of the Dignity Zambia maternity hospital build. Held at Eastwoods Restaurant, this special event also celebrates the launch of a powerful new book capturing the heart and impact of the project.
Guests will enjoy a selection of platter-style hors d’oeuvres, a complimentary drink on arrival, and receive a copy of the book ‘Anyone can Become a Princess‘.
The evening will feature a keynote address from Clare Jobson, CEO of CJ Legal, speaking on the power of volunteering. Special guest Anna Sanderson, an international model from Sweden, will also make an appearance in support of the cause.
A live auction will be held on the night, hosted by Mel Butcher of Taylors Property Specialists, with a curated selection of items up for bid, all in support of maternal healthcare in Zambia.
All proceeds from book sales & event will go directly towards improving maternal healthcare in Zambia.
