Artists for World Peace (AFWP) connects communities of artists with communities in need by raising funds through making art to support grass-roots organizations in communities around the world. Our last six Broadway events have transformed the lives of thousands of people in Kibosho-Umbwe, Tanzania: proceeds from our events allowed us to build our health center, establish an eye clinic, create income to sustain the running of the orphanage center, and open the very first Dental Clinic in this region of Tanzania. We have also been able to help sustain hundreds of children through the Good Hope Orphanage Center.

Proceeds from this year's event went towards our NATIVE EYES Project, providing free eye care to Native American communities across the U.S. in 2018.
