The
Cinderella Project is dedicated to promoting confidence and
self-esteem in financially challenged young newly-arrived girls
in our cultural community by allowing them the opportunity and
the means to attend their school prom and other social events by
donating quality formal and semi-formal attire and accessories
and services.
The project
will accept donations of formal dresses, shoes, purses, unopened
cosmetics, hosiery and jewelry and other items. Monetary
donations will be accepted to cover expenses such as
transporting and storing the clothing.
The
organization will forge partnerships with local manufactures,
suppliers and service providers to collect gowns and accessories
and then donates the items to the girls free of charge.
Most
importantly the women of The LCHA Cinderella Project will be
dedicated to lead by example providing mentoring, guidance and
friendship to the young women of our cultural community facing
financial hardship, difficulty in adjusting to the Canadian
lifestyle and lack of awareness of the golden opportunities
Canadian society provides for their future.
Focus will
also include encouraging the pursuit of higher education, career
opportunities, family values and benevolence.
