AUCTION OF GIFTS AND PROMISES FUNDRASIER
The results focused charity, OrphFund, are hosting an evening of African food, music, auctions, raffles, drinks and more at the iconic Rose Street Artist Market, Fitzroy, to raise vital funds to support over 3,500 orphaned and vulnerable children from Sierra Leone, Uganda and Kenya.
Founder Steve Argent says, “The aim of the night is to raise funds to help all of our projects across Sierra Leone, Uganda and Kenya where we assist 3,500 children. We’ll be helping our work get back on its feet Post-Ebola in Sierra Leone and we’ll be creating farming and agricultural projects in all countries to take further steps towards becoming self-sufficient”.
