Zimele USA is a 501(c)3 organization based in Englewood, NJ. Our mission is to confront the root causes of poverty in rural South Africa by empowering women with financial literacy, small business training and life skills. This year, we celebrate our Tenth Anniversary milestone, and in those ten years, the programming we support has helped empower nearly 10,000 women and their households. However, there is still much work to be done and more communities to reach.

The gala is our largest event each year and helps to raise crucial funds to further our work. To achieve our fundraising goal, we hope that PhotoSesh photographers might be willing to help. If there is someone available on Oct 21, please let me know. Ideally, we would love to have someone at the Step & Repeat as well as general event photographers to capture the decor, candid moments, speakers and performance.
