Global Party shimmies to Cape Town

All TGP events will raise funds for children's charities and Shimmy has nominated AIDS NGO Wola Nani with its Orphans and Vulnerable Children Programme (OVC) as the benefiting local charity.

A unique opportunity

"We relish the opportunity to throw the most unforgettable party Cape Town has ever seen," says Shimmy Beach Club director, Shawn Mace. "Since opening our doors at the end of last year, we have enjoyed the patronage of many of South Africa's most fortunate people. We believe that by hosting TGP, we can make a difference in many young and less fortunate lives. We challenge everyone to open their hearts and their wallets as part of this worldwide initiative."

Shimmy joins an elite list of the world's chicest nightspots including Nikki Beach in Marrakech, Paris's Ozu Club and The Savoy, London.

Wola Nani

Observatory-based NGO Wola Nani, Xhosa for "we embrace and develop one another", was established in 1994 as a non-profit organisation to support women, orphans and vulnerable children affected by the HIV crisis.

"Since the inception of the organisation, Wola Nani has always recognised that children are the most vulnerable in the HIV/AIDS epidemic," says executive director, Moira Jones. "It is only through the support of donors, that Wola Nani can enhance its OVC programmes and embark on moving these young people from vulnerability to resilience."
