The Touch Foundation's Into Africa offers a night of cocktails, dinner and live African entertainment the Grosvenor House in London. The evening will also feature celebrity guests and a charity auction with African-inspired items.

Ticket sales and donations will provide scholarships for students at Bugando, a hospital and medical university in Tanzania training doctors and other healthcare workers to serve in rural areas. Graduates are already tackling maternal and infant mortality from HIV/AIDS, malaria and other preventable diseases. The hospital is in urgent need of essential repairs. Expanding medical training today will save thousands more lives tomorrow.

Aside from the glamour, why join us?

-Invest in a strategic program with a track-record of demonstrable results

-Support a foundation working in partnership with the Tanzanian government and other public and private sectors

-Save lives! There are only 1,300 doctors for 40 million Tanzanians. With your help, we will increase this ratio by one-third in just five years
