The Eyes on Africa Foundation, in a unique show of the Ubuntu spirit, mobilized its support base and love of wine to raise money to support BRAC’s work in Haiti.

Thanks to select Advantage suppliers, people from across the country were able to support the cause by purchasing specific brands of wine for which the proceeds were donated to Eyes on Africa Foundation. With the help of both the suppliers and those who directed their purchases to support Haiti, the Foundation was able to raise $4,000.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Foundation and everyone who supported their fundraising effort.  We hope you enjoy the wine!

About the Eyes on Africa Foundation

The Eyes on Africa Foundation was founded in 2007. After Jeff Lakusta (founder and CEO) returned from South Africa on a medical trip, he felt deeply humbled and inspired to do what he could to delivery change to the region, no matter how little. This little spark led to the creation of the Eyes on Africa Foundation. It is based on the simple idea of connecting students around the world to leverage the resources on their campuses to support a common mission. Students who come forward to help Eyes on Africa are assigned as ‘campus coordinators’ for their university and are asked to raise awareness, host events, and put on fundraisers at their respective university.
