What does CLEAN WATER have to do with LITTLE DRESSES? |
|
|
"We're not just sending dresses, we're sending hope". What exactly does that mean? The answer is simple: Your little dresses offer tangible hope and pave the way to meet other needs, as we distribute hundreds in each remote village. Your beautiful dresses not only offer much needed clothing to the most vulnerable of God's children, but they also provide dignity and self-confidence. They offer tangible hope that they are not forgotten and we believe in them and in their future. These dresses, (close to 7 million!) go out as beautiful ambassadors to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy. As relationships are formed in remote villages, needs are identified. As friendships are formed, villages are chosen that are willing to work in partnership with us to complete projects in 3 areas:
clean water, education and community. Our projects work directly with the traditional authorities in each village to secure land and with those communities who agree to make and contribute a portion of the bricks that are necessary to build, and in forming committees to maintain the wells that we install. We believe this partnership is vital to the success of these projects and instill a sense of pride and self-worth in addition to ensuring the investments remain in great working order for the future. With your support, lives are being changed here and across the ocean.
YOU ARE PART OF THE CHANGE TAKING PLACE AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!! Thank you and God bless!

The Girls Hostel is ready for the girls! |
|
|
Young girls, while grateful to be rescued from early child marriages, are very often left on their own to find neaby, safe rooms to rent while completing their studies. Walking long distances with no supervision leaves them vulnerable to predators and every day temptations. Little Dresses for Africa, has answered this problem for 100 girls in Golomoti. A secure, brick girls hostel, along with bunkbeds, beautiful bedding, sheets, pillows and quilts has been provided and the girls can't believe their eyes! Music filled the air as the celebrations showed their deep and sincere appreciation. Their speeches and joyful songs revealed their gratitude for a safe haven to concentrate on their studies and march confidently toward their dreams. Thank you to all involved in supporting these projects! Check out the
website for more pictures. |
