Special guest, Jojo, shared a celebratory dance from her home country of Uganda. She even taught a few lucky guests some dance moves and invited them up on stage with her!

On behalf of the entire Andando team, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support of our 2024 Dinner and Auction fundraiser. It was an incredible privilege to spend the evening with you, celebrating the amazing work that Andando is doing to transform lives in rural Senegal. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable night with us in support of the people of Senegal.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we raised an astounding $76,501.40! This is a significant increase from last year's total, and we are overjoyed by the difference this will make for families in Senegal. Your contributions will go a long way in supporting our partner communities through new market gardens, schools, and health posts. Thank you! Thank you!

One of the highlights of the evening was sharing the story of the Ba family from Sama Toucouleur, who benefit from all of Andando's program areas. You can watch and share the video below, it can be found at Andando.org/videos. We encourage you to take a look and see the incredible impacts you are helping to foster in Senegal.

The event was truly a success thanks to the many volunteers, table hosts, sponsors, and donors – we are so grateful for each and every one of you! More photos at bottom of this page.

A huge THANK YOU! to everyone who contributed through sponsorships, auction item donations, bidding in the auction, attending the event or volunteering. We could not do this work without the support of generous donors like who are “walking together” alongside the people of Senegal.
