Making a Change Collaborates with Scarlett Fashion to Empower South Africa’s Youth through Dress it Forward

At Making a Change, we believe in the power of community and the incredible impact that local organizations can have on the lives of South Africans. Recently, we had the privilege of visiting a remarkable non-profit organization, Dress it Forward, which is making dreams come true for countless young people by providing free matric ball dresses to students across the country. This initiative not only uplifts the spirits of these students but also ensures that financial limitations do not prevent them from enjoying one of the most memorable moments of their school careers.


The Power of Collaboration

Understanding the significance of this cause, Making a Change reached out to local businesses to help amplify the impact of Dress it Forward. One business, in particular, stood out for its generosity and community spirit: Scarlett Fashion. Known for its chic and elegant designs, Scarlett Fashion stepped up in a big way, donating close to 100 dresses to Dress it Forward. This incredible contribution ensures that even more students will have the opportunity to attend their matric balls in style, feeling confident and celebrated.

In a world where challenges often seem insurmountable, it’s important to remember the power of collective action. When businesses, non-profits, and individuals come together with a shared purpose, the possibilities are endless. The collaboration between Making a Change, Scarlett Fashion, and Dress it Forward is a shining example of what can be achieved when we all work together.
