There are no words to adequately thank you for your generosity. Little Dresses for Africa has been sending relief since 2008. It takes all of us to make this happen: Some sew, some donate material, some write checks, some serve here at our facility in Michigan and others in short term trips to Africa.
Together, we have sent well over 8 million dresses for little girls, and almost as many shorts for boys. We will graduate our first class at the Nan Ray School of Learning and our primary school in Mataka is growing year by year, now at standard 3. Our pre-school and sewing center are ready to launch in Lumbadzi. Our fully equipped girls hostel in Golomoti is protecting 140 girls who were rescued from child marriages and returned to school. Our warehouse hosts distributions all over Malawi and our 40 foot containers are shipped at least twice a year full of dresses, school supplies, and medical equipment to offer relief. Our push for 19 wells in 2019 resulted in 25 wells being sponsored which will bring our total overall to 44 wells installed as soon as the rains finish. That's a lot of people with clean water!
I do not share these numbers to brag, although I am so proud of you all! I share them to show what can happen when we all work together. I think our African philosopher got it right when he wrote: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together!
Together, we can celebrate this Christmas knowing that the world is a better place because we take care of each other any way we can. Thanks and love,

There's still time to sponsor a well. $5000 pays for a well that provides clean water for 3000 people. Clean water saves lives, keeps kids safe and in school and is a great tax deduction that keeps on giving. Your name will go on the well in Africa as well as on our "Wall of Fame" at Little Dresses for Africa, Main Headquarters.
What a great way to honor a loved one.
