Dress A Girl Around the World in Etown supplies dresses, dolls and hope to girls who are in need or at risk for human trafficking.
Every week a dozen or more ladies volunteer their time at the Etown Sewing Studio to make dresses. We rely on donations of funds and fabric for our mission to dress little girls with dignity to offer them hope against human trafficking.
We never charge for our dresses and they are hand carried to little girls who are the least of these.
Each dress is made with sturdy 100% cotton fabric suitable for little girls. All of the seams are serged and the double layer pocket has a Dress A Girl Label attached. All of the dresses must be well made and as cute as possible.
We include dolls if requested.

- The average age of a young woman being trafficked is 12-14 years old

- If we educate them and their parents/guardians they are less likely to be deceived.
