I want to become an event planner and at the same time find a way to combine this with helping people in Africa. Do you have any suggestions how to do this best.

Yes, you can have an event planning company that donates some of its proceeds to a non-profit organization that you also start. The event planning company can be the primary source of finances for the non-profit, which will use all of the revenue it acquires to have programming for helping people in Africa.
Mixing the two into one company might be confusing and hard for consumers and also for givers to understand. Keeping them legally separate, but bound by your own force, will make it an easier and more predictable set of businesses in the minds of the consumers.

Apply for a job at any one of the hundreds of organizations that already do charity work on behalf of African nations.
They get their money by holding events and inviting rich people to come and party and write them checks.
Start with ONE.org and try searching employment opportunities with charities on Monster.com

Find a non-profit organization that helps people in Africa and organize fundraising events for them. Non-profits are always looking for fundraising help.
