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.

Story

The aim of the charity is to celebrate people who overcome many obstacles to graduate from High School in the townships of South Africa - and to inspire others to do the same.  The charity does this by sending pre-loved dresses and suits from the UK and South Africa for those school leavers attending graduation balls.  The charity is currently raising money to rent a small boutique in South Africa so that they can operate more efficiently and effectively. 
Here's a great little 60 second video to watch to tell you a bit more: https://vimeo.com/412303886
If you are able to donate a little something to this cause, I and Dress it Forward would be hugely grateful.
