Dress It Forward

YTD Raised: £5,003.22
(UK, 1189810) In the townships of South Africa the graduation (or ‘Matric’) ball is a momentous occasion. So few actually graduate that those who do are treated like celebrities and attending the high school prom is a real sign of achievement. But for many – while they may have made it to the ball – their families are too poor to afford them a dress to wear. Dress It Forward collects pre-loved dresses and suits from both the UK and South Africa and gives them for free to students in South Africa who would otherwise not have anything to wear to their own prom. This then relieves their families of the financial burden of their Graduation Ball.
