International Women's Day Lunch to highlight plight of 16 million people in east Africa

The popular Kings Head Bistro in Galway is hosting an event this week to help highlight the plight of millions of women in east Africa.

The famed pub will host an International Women’s Day Lunch for Self Help Africa on Friday 8th March.

The event will begin at 12:30pm where guests will be treated to a three-course meal with all proceeds going to Self Help Africa projects associated with Women’s projects in Africa.

Self Help Africa works to provide women and families with the ability to produce more food, earn more from their farming activities and help mothers and fathers to provide a better life for their children.

The charity supports and works with women and families in 16 countries in Africa and the Developing World.

The luncheon will support the East Africa appeal where some 36 million are affected by drought and conflict and are facing starvation and loss of livelihoods.

Tickets, €40 are available by emailing ronan.scully@selfhelpafrica.org.
