Esharelife gathered friends, supporters and representatives from beneficiary organisations for its second Christmas Party – and raised funds for Kenyan education projects.
The glittering event, hosted by Tratos Ltd CEO and charity founder Dr Maurizio Bragagni, saw special guests from the worlds of politics, business and the arts gather to celebrate and support Esharelife charities.
The second Eyes on the Future Gala Dinner saw guests arrive to a glittering event at one of London’s most exclusive venues and raise £220,000 to fund research to fast-track treatment for an incurable eye condition.
The incredible generosity that was a signature of the evening marks another big step in the fight against one of the cruellest diseases – a disease that guarantees the children with it are blind in their teenage years. Read more
Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, is home to Kibera, one of the world’s largest slums.
It houses between 170,000 and 1 million locals. Around half of Kenyans live below the poverty line with some 38.5 per cent of the adult population illiterate. The population is young, around 73% are 30 or under.
Education is one of the biggest steps toward conquering poverty – it offers chances, hope and possibilities. That’s why Esharelife has committed to support another of AVSI’s Kenyan projects, and support more than 100 students with scholarships at the St Kizito Vocational Training Institute.
The AVSI Foundation has supported the development of several schools in Kenya since the early 90s: kindergartens, elementary, middle, high school and VTIs.
Over time, these schools have shifted from receivers of support to fully-engaged partners in action with a mission to unlock children’s access to schooling.
St. Kizito Vocational Training Institute is one of the schools empowered by AVSI Foundation. Read more

Last year Esharelife hosted a Christmas party with the aim of changing the lives of children living in dire conditions in a Kenyan slum. That party raised money that has been dedicated to supporting the chances and choices for 50 of those children – funding access to education and improved life skills.
Boys and girls living in one of the region’s hardest environments – a slum named Kibera – come from families for whom every day is a fight for survival. Going to school means children receive at least one meal a day. School fees are beyond even the most optimistic hopes of their parents. That’s where AVSI comes in, and why Esharelife is proud to partner this incredible charity.
One of Italy’s most respected contemporary artists has joined the Esharelife community – and donated some of his works to support the new ‘art-for-good’ project.
The artist immediately responded with enthusiasm about being a part of Esharelife’s community and an offer of donating some of his paintings to raise money for worthwhile projects.
