Changing lives one little dress at a time…

Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit, Christian based organization which provides relief to the children of  Africa. Simple dresses are made out of pillow cases and distributed through the orphanages in Central Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy!

Knowing the history of the girls in Africa and the difficult road that lay ahead, a small group of ladies returning from a short term mission trip to Malawi began to sew simple little dresses made out of pillow cases to be distributed to young girls through the orphanages in  Africa. It continues to grow as groups spring up across America.  To date we have received dresses and donations from all 50 states across the USA and received over 65,000 little dresses that have been distributed in 14 countries of Africa!

With Little Dresses for Africa, there are many ways to provide help…from starting or hosting your own sewing group, sizing and packing little dresses, or donating financially toward shipping costs. Little Dresses for Africa will deliver the dresses to the grateful little girls of Africa.  Simple patterns are available under “more information”. 

We’re not just sending dresses, we’re sending HOPE!
