Little Dresses For Africa
Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit 501c3, Christian organization, which provides relief to the children of Africa. Simple dresses are made out of pillow cases, and distributed through the orphanages, churches and schools in Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy! This ministry captures the hearts of so many and continues to grow as groups of all sizes spring up across America. These groups cross age, gender and denominational lines, to serve the most vulnerable of God’s children: little girls. To date LDFA has received well over ONE MILLION LITTLE DRESSES and donations from all 50 states across the USA as well as from the UK, Canada, Mexico and Australia. ONE MILLION. That’s a lot of little girls!! With your help these beautiful dresses have been distributed in 43 countries of Africa! LDFA is happy to partner with mission teams and travelers to get these dresses to the children who need them most. One generous supporter, Nancy’s Notions, has sent over 65,000 for us internationally. Dresses have also been sent to other countries in crisis such as Honduras, Guatemala, The Philippines, Cambodia, Mexico and thousands and thousands to Haiti. In addition, LDFA has sent dresses to children in need right here in the United States, in the Appalachian Mountains and South Dakota. But more importantly than how many have been shipped, are the lives that they have touched as these little dresses go out as little Ambassadors in the name of Jesus, to give hope to the children that receive them.
Little Dresses For Africa
Little Dresses for Africa Team 2012 has returned from Malawi with full and grateful hearts! Our time in the “warm heart of Africa” was indeed warm, and full of genuine hospitality. We were blessed with beautiful weather and relatively good health, all things considered. We were able, with your help, to take thousands of dresses and britches for boys. You provided the means to conduct Bible lessons, and provide crafts for the attendees, both children and adults. We delivered, on your behalf, 200 Buckets of Hope, full of rice, oil, sugar, plastic-ware, Bibles and soap. We sang. We prayed. We encouraged them and they encouraged us! Thank you so much for making it happen. Your generosity was deeply felt by all of us!
