Gala Latina (Latin American Ball) Event
The Africa Latin America Chamber of Commerce hosted the 2023 Gala Latina (Latin American Ball) on Saturday the 21st of January at Villa Rosa Kempinski hotel with His Excellency William A. McDonald High Commissioner of Barbados to Kenya gracing the event as the guest of honor.
Gala Latina is an annual formal charity ball that takes place to celebrate Latin American culture in Kenya. His Excellency stressed the importance of Africa and Latin America working together to achieve a common goal of prosperity. The event was attended by more than 120 guests which included members of the Diplomatic and business community. Proceeds of the event went to support Fundación Maisha, a Kenya NGO supported by volunteers from Chile. They are midwives and nurses who assist women from low-income areas with pregnancy and deliveries.
The Africa Latin America Chamber of Commerce plans to host the reciprocal Gala Africana in the second half of 2023 to celebrate African food, music, and culture in Latin America.
The newly established Africa Latin America Chamber of Commerce is a key core platform for the business community on both continents and aims to strengthen and expand business and trade collaborations with the planning of business missions to Latin America and vice versa already underway. Our priority is to boost trade in areas like hospitality and tourism, agriculture, technology, and engineering.
In a bid to align with cross-continent and intra-Africa trade, the chamber is currently having discussions to host the Africa South America Business Summit here in Africa by the end of 2023.
The Chamber’s aim is to accelerate the growth of our members by providing valuable support, facilitating collaboration with governments, establishing new business connections, and leveraging the prosperity generation for Africa and Latin America. Furthermore, enhancing and exploiting economic opportunities in Intra African trade.
