This special benefit fashion show will be just in time for the holiday season; a time of year when people think of those less fortunate. The MaMa Africa Program wants to invite the public to Noire Chic Benefit Fashion Show to help give mothers and children in Africa something special this year and raise awareness about maternal healthcare issues worldwide.

As a non-profit health outreach program, the MaMa Africa Program aims is to not only to further outreach in Africa but also domestically through direct care and involvement with the women and children in need. The fashion show will help raise funds for the MaMa Africa Program’s next outreach trip to West Africa and help to continue their mission of working with the mothers and children.

With the fashion show the MaMa Africa Program hopes to encourage all that we can act locally, think globally, and make an impact. The Noire Chic Benefit Fashion Show for the MaMa Africa Program is being sponsored by BGNB Productions, LIVID Magazine, Just Plain Soap (JPS) , Munaluchi Bridal Magazine, HealthRight International, Statuesque Events , and Joloff Restaurant.
