Philanthropy Friday: Little Dresses for Africa

It's PHILANTHROPY FRIDAY again!



Today I am featuring an organization I saw a few years ago called Little Dresses For Africa. They collect donations of simple hand-made dresses and then deliver them to countries around Africa. Not only does this provide children with much needed clothing, it gives travelers the opportunity to share hope and love with these girls. I love that their website states, "We're not just sending dresses, we're sending hope." They aim to show girls that they are worthy.




The dresses are made of simple patterns or even pillow cases and tutorials are available here. Don't sew? No problem! The organization also collects supplies for shipping the dresses and suggestions are listed on their website.

Such a great way to use creative talent to share hope! I'm thinking of having a dress making party this summer... Let's make some dresses and share some hope!
