HOPE through EDUCATION ...
This year, we’re gathering at the MCG to Play It Forward for our 2026 Annual Fundraising Event!
On one of Australia’s most iconic stages, we’ll come together to pass opportunity forward, creating greater access to education, digital skills and brighter futures for children and families in Kibera.
Join us for an inspiring evening of entertainment, connection and generosity as we celebrate the impact we can create together.
Friday 2 October 2026
The evening will begin with drinks in the historic Long Room at 6.00pm, before moving into the magnificent Members Dining Room, overlooking the MCG.
Get ready for a special performance from our incredible Ambassador @Ruva_songbird, spectacular prizes, and an unforgettable night of celebration and giving.
Because talent is universal. Opportunity is not.
BUILDING CAPACITY, DRIVING CHANGE and PROMOTING EQUITY

When you empower people through education, everything changes.
We believe quality education is a human right — With your help, WFWIA can make it a reality for many children living in Kibera..
Ordinary people.
Extraordinary poverty.
The change can start with us.
Women for Women in Africa (WFWIA) is a small charity creating meaningful, lasting change. Our mission—Hope through Education—is guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We work alongside women and children in Kibra (commonly known as Kibera), one of Africa’s largest informal settlements, removing barriers through access to education, vocational training, and community-led development.
Every donation to education or training is tax-deductible, and 100% of sponsorship funds go directly to our trusted Kenyan partner, Wanawake kwa Wanawake.
With decades of grassroots experience, we are committed to transparency, integrity, equality and building sustainable futures.
Together, we can create opportunity and lasting impact.
