Little Dresses for Africa Charity Profile
Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide relief to children in Central Africa. People from all over the United States join together to make little dresses out of simple patterns. Some sew. Some donate. Some go to Africa and some send others. Little Dresses for Africa makes all the arrangements to get the dresses to the children and distributes them through the orphanages. Together we can make a difference.
Our mission is to provide relief to children of Central Africa. One of the ways that the mission is accomplished is by distributing little dresses to the orphan girls in the remote villages of Malawi. Because of the widespread AIDS pandemic, little girls are often left to be the primary care givers of their young siblings. It is our hope that in delivering dresses to these young girls, that a seed will be planted in the name of Jesus in their hearts that they are worthy.
Along with being something that they all need, distributing the little dresses gives us an opportunity to hold camps and informal teaching sessions to increase their knowledge in stopping the spread of the dreaded AIDS disease and promote good nutrition, health and family skills knowledge.
