Aamito Lagum & Patricia Akello Hold First ASFA’s Pre-Party and Raise Funds to Support Young Ugandan Girls

New York based Ugandan models Aamito Lagum and Patricia Akello had the ultimate surprise for their guests at their exclusive ASFA’s pre-party that was held at the Kampala Serena Hotel last evening. A lucky guest earned themselves an opportunity of a lifetime by winning an all-expenses paid trip to New York City in 2023 to attend New York Fashion Week.

The event, dubbed the “Pre-ASFAs Party, hosted By Patricia Akello and Aamito Lagum” attracted an A-list crowd that included major industry players like music artistes, fashion designers, models, photographers, entrepreneurs and socialites.

The pre-party event also doubled as a fundraiser where proceeds went towards providing scholastic materials and Sanitary towels for school-going girls in Atanga Primary School in Northern Uganda. The funds are to be channeled through two charity organizations Dignity for A Girl Child Foundation and WAWI Foundation, whose focus is advocating for women’s rights to financial services by lobbying for sound public policies and long-term commitment from all development actors. 10 million was raised in 15 minutes and fundraising is still on going

The highlight of the night was the bidding for the once-in-a lifetime New York Fashion Week experience, that includes access to front row seats during Fashion Week in September next year, enjoying selected tour experiences around New York City, 5-star accommodation in Manhattan and so many other experiences. The grand prize was taken home by South Sudanese designer Raja Keji, Creative Director of Jeńm Raja Keji,

The event was a precursor to the Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards, which takes place today Friday, 16th December, 2022 at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
