Our events create space for community, connection, and change. From our flagship annual benefit, Ndajee, to local fundraisers and virtual conversations, every WGEP gathering celebrates the power of education and collective impact.
Join us on Wednesday, October 8, for a memorable evening at LOULOU featuring an exclusive four-course dinner with wine, prepared by Chef Jason Hammel, 2024 James Beard Award winner, author, and acclaimed chef of Lula Café. On this special night, Women's Global Education Project (WGEP) will honor Chef Hammel for his visionary leadership in the culinary world and his unwavering commitment to community, creativity, and girls' education. Tickets are $150 each, and all proceeds will be donated directly to WGEP's programs in Senegal and Kenya.
