COMMUNITY CARE TRUST BRINGS HOPE TO UNDERPRIVILEDGED GIRLS THROUGH "GIFT OF DIGNITY" PROJECT.
Community Care Trust has brought smiles and renewed confidence to underprivileged girls this Christmas through its Gift of Dignity – Girls Christmas Dress & Tote Bag Project, an initiative aimed at restoring self-worth, joy, and dignity among vulnerable children.
Speaking in an interview, Community Care Trust Chief Executive Officer, Georgina Lowole, said the project was born out of a desire to ensure that no girl feels left out during the festive season due to poverty.
“Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but for many girls in our communities, it can be a painful reminder of what they lack. Through the Gift of Dignity Project, we wanted to change that narrative and remind them that they are valued and worthy,” said Lowole.
The project involved sewing handmade Christmas dresses, each paired with a durable tote bag, to provide both dignity and practicality. According to Lowole, the tote bags were intentionally included to empower the girls beyond the festive season.
In a powerful demonstration of servant leadership, Lowole personally participated in sewing the dresses and tote bags, an act she described as symbolic of the organisation’s values.
“Leadership is not only about directing — it’s about serving. I wanted to be part of the process, to put my hands to the work, because every stitch carries a message of love, hope, and dignity,” she said.
Beneficiaries of the project expressed excitement and gratitude upon receiving the dresses and bags, with many beaming with pride as they prepared to celebrate Christmas in new outfits.
Lowole also acknowledged the role of donors and supporters who made the project possible.
