History of LDFA

The road is especially tough for little girls and young women. Often small children are left as primary care givers of younger children because of the death of their parents from disease and poverty.  Little Dresses for Africa is a Christian 501c3, providing humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable of God’s children: little girls. These dresses, made by volunteers from around the world, go out as little ambassadors to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy. As relationships are built, projects are completed through clean water, education and community. “We’re not just sending dresses, we’re sending hope.” These little dresses are given freely to those in need. We plant the seeds. God sends the harvest. 

Little Dresses for Africa Founded in 2008

Founded by Rachel O’Neill, LDFA is a registered non-profit 501c3 Christian organization.

MISSION

To provide relief to vulnerable children throughout the Continent of Africa and beyond.

WHY?

To plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy.

HOW?

Volunteers join together to make little dresses out of pillow cases or other simple patterns.

Some sew. Some pack. Some donate materials and/or shipping money. Some go to Africa. Some send others. Together, we make a difference, one little dress at a time!
