The atmosphere was electric at BELLHAUS Atelier & Galerie on Tuesday, December 9, 2025!
Faith Abled Foundation was proud to participate as a network member in the first-ever Fundraising Auction hosted by Umbrella Initiatives. It was, without a doubt, an awesome evening that merged art, celebrity, and collective purpose.
The Collector's Dream
This was no ordinary auction! Held at the stylish venue located at 18 Bell Street, the event was a phenomenal success, attracting special personalities and featuring a truly unique collection of one-of-a-kind, signed, and limited-edition artifacts. The starting prices were kept symbolic to ignite a fun, competitive atmosphere, giving bidders that winning feeling when they claimed a piece of history.
Highlights of the night included:
A piece of music history: Gazza’s vintage, last-in-existence CD album.
An iconic fashion statement: Native South African Jack Parow’s signature hat.
Incredible pieces from artists like Hage Mukwendje, Skooli, and Mandy Liedke.
Unique items like a Travel Bag donated by Nakara and a Vocal Lesson from Opera Singer Galilei Njembo.
The evening was smoothly presented by the fantastic Ilke Platt as Master of Ceremonies, featuring special live performances by Yola B and Lize Ehlers.
The Purpose: Supporting 30+ NGOs
The energy and generosity displayed were channeled into a vital cause:
All proceeds will be used to support the 30+ NGOs within the Umbrella Network ⛱️ through open call applications. This mission is the very core of Umbrella Initiatives, to be the bridge between people willing to help others and people in need. For organizations like Faith Abled Foundation, these funds are critical to scaling impact and building accessible futures.
We thank everyone who made the night unforgettable. Be the ONE who supports a great cause and creates everlasting memories!
Looking Ahead
The Okuryangava Clinic ramp project (our recent collaboration) showed what partnership can achieve. This successful auction shows how that partnership can be sustained. We look forward to continuing to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Umbrella Initiatives and the entire network to build more accessible, equitable, and empowered futures.
