The Sparkle Foundation Podcast is where we shine a light on the extraordinary people behind our mission: volunteers, changemakers, and champions who show up, roll up their sleeves, and prove that one person really can make a difference. Each episode is an honest, unscripted conversation about what drives people to give back, and what happens when they do. Hosted by Sarah Brook , Founder and CEO of the The Sparkle Foundation. Meet Our Guests Sam McCone is Managing Partner at McCone Properties, with over 30 years in Dubai and 13 years helping investors make better property decisions in one of the world's most competitive real estate markets. Candice McCone is a Trauma Release Practitioner and Human Garage Fascia Maneuver Coach, dedicated to helping people navigate and release trauma from the body. Together, they are two of The Sparkle Foundation's most committed supporters, bringing not just financial backing, but genuine presence, personal challenge, and a whole company along with them.

In the village of Sakata, in Zomba District, Malawi, sixteen women are bent over sewing machines, measuring, cutting, threading, and stitching. What they are creating is more than clothing. They are building futures. This is The Sparkle Foundation's tailoring skills training programme, one of the first initiatives to launch under Spark to Success, a powerful two year partnership with NAMA Women Advancement , a UAE-based organisation dedicated to advancing women's economic participation and building resilient communities worldwide.
