Little Dresses for Africa supplies dresses for girls, britches for boys, and period support for young women. Lutheran World Relief is our shipping partner. We ship the dresses to Lutheran World Relief in Michigan and they distribute the dresses to areas in need in Africa.
Meeting Info: Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10-11:30am in the Rock Room starting on September 10, 2024. All are welcome to attend, whether you are a beginner or skilled dress maker!
Donation Info: Fabric donations must be cotton or a high percent of cotton blend fabric. Most dresses require about 1-1/4 yards depending on the print. Larger sizes and different patterns require more fabric. Fabrics must be heavy enough that you cannot see your hand behind one layer of the fabric; therefore, we usually use darker colors while keeping in mind cultural preferences. We also avoid prints that would be offensive, such as cats or dogs. Financial donations are also welcome which will be used for fabric purchases or to offset shipping costs.
