For the women and girls who fly high.
Join us for a fun and mission-focused day at the East Village as we celebrate the triumphs and achievements of the young women and girls of Batonga as they break barriers and become leaders in their communities.
Proceeds from this special event will help support our work to educate and empower these young women and girls in rural communities in Benin and Senegal so that they can fly to new heights.

Who better to lead the celebration than Batonga’s very own founder, Angélique Kidjo. Having recently been given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—the first black African artist to do so—Angélique is set to grace us with an energetic performance of her award-winning and barrier-breaking music.
A special performance from Batonga’s founder.
Proceeds from the event will directly support the following Batonga programs:
Adolescent Girls Leadership
