Africa’s Angels
Ambassadors for D.E.F.’s mission of empowerment through education in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource.
Diamond Empowerment Fund™ (D.E.F) now has an Ambassador Program for D.E.F. called Africa’s Angels. The Angels will be selected for their compassion, commitment to D.E.F.’s mission, and their ability to leverage their influence, contacts and celebrity to raise awareness and funds in support of the organization’s vision to help Africans help Africa though education that empowers and provides tangible skills to help build lives.
The Africa’s Angels program launched in fall of 2008 with the appointment of South African-born supermodel Nicola Breytenbach. The summer of 2009 saw reality television star and celebrity, Kim Kardashian becoming Africa’s Angel. In 2010, DEF added 2 other Angels, Selita Ebanks and Flaviana Matata. In 2011, Rahma M became our newest Angel.
Angels are selected by D.E.F’s Advisory Board Chairman, Russell Simmons.
