It doesn’t look like such a large number until you think of 45,000 little girls standing in front of you.
It doesn’t seem such a large figure until you imagine 45,000 dresses being packaged to ship to Malawi.
That’s the plan Suzi was discussing with Rachel O’Neal, the founder of Little Dresses for Africa, sending the first shipment of 45,000 dresses to Malawi. Rachel formed Little Dresses, and has been sending dresses to Malawi in the luggage of others. That was before her story hit the NBC nightly news with Brain Williams, and the dresses reaching her Michigan home has increased into vast numbers.
Upon learning what Rachel is doing we made a trip to Michigan to discuss ways the Malawi Project and Little Dresses for Africa could work together. The meeting came at the perfect moment.
Rachel excitedly told us that dresses are coming into her Michigan home at a breathtaking rate. We saw a great opportunity to work together. Plans are now underway to work out details, and put together the plan for a first shipment of dresses to Malawi. It is estimated this shipment can hold as many as 45,000 dresses.
