Sew Change with Little Dresses for Africa

Beyond Dresses: Clean Water, Education, and Community

The road for girls and young women in many African nations can be tough. They have often been left as primary caregivers for younger children because of the death of their parents from disease and poverty.

Little Dresses for Africa gives dresses freely to those in need, but that’s just the beginning. These dresses are a way for this nonprofit to make connections and introduce themselves to homes and communities where they can do more good. They focus on three things: clean water, education, and community.

Clean water saves lives immediately, which is why this nonprofit works on well projects to bring water to communities that need it most. Education can end the cycle of poverty, so they teach health and family skills too. And communities sustain change, so bringing villages together to find solutions is essential.

Who Can Make a Difference? People Like You  

Little Dresses for Africa wouldn’t be able to do the good work they do, working alongside the people of the villages to address deeply felt needs, without your help. And there are so many ways to help!

You can make your own dresses—cotton or cotton blend material will be best for the African continent’s climate—and send them through Little Dresses for Africa. If you don’t sew, you can make a difference by donating to any and all of the organization’s projects.

You choose where your money goes, whether it’s for the water wells, education efforts, or even the cost of shipping to get the dresses to mission points in Africa. Interested in working as an LDFA Ambassador? Reach out to the organization and discover what the role involves.
