Introducing a real-life fairy godmother, “The Cinderella Project”. The Cinderella Project is a non-profit charity organization made to give high school students prom dresses or homecoming dresses when they can’t afford one. Its goal is to make sure that all high school girls can have the time of their lives even when they can’t afford to spend a large amount of money on a dress.
A fantastic idea, to begin with, the Cinderella Project is a very well thought out project. Most non-profit charities would not think about small things like prom dresses for less fortunate students, it is a very thoughtful idea, most people would probably think it was a dumb idea or not even think of it because it is such a minor issue yet the cinderella project understands what a major thing prom is for a lot of girls in high school, and uses such a small way to bring so much happiness to those who are not fortunate enough to be able to spend a lot of money getting the perfect prom dress.
The Cinderella Project’s benefits are not limited to just giving out dresses for free, neither are the events that it donates dresses for, major high school events like prom, formal, and home-coming are very important to the mental health of many students. Looking at it from an outside point of view, it seems like just another event that can be glossed over without missing anything. Events like these can play major roles in the mental health of a student, not only are they a break from school where students can be with their friends and have an amazing time, but they also can help boost the self-esteem of many students. Simply being there in a beautiful dress with their hair and makeup done can make a student genuinely feel and believe they are beautiful. The Cinderella Project does something a lot deeper for students than just giving them a pretty dress to wear for a tiny little high school event. Their mission is not just to give out dresses, it is to help boost the esteem of many students and help them make it to graduation and not drop out to have their insecurities and self-esteem have them spiral out of control.
The mission is such a subtle way of doing something huge for many high school girls, and it is a simple way to help so many girls find their confidence, even if it is just for a night. In modern times, confidence is usually hard to find for many girls as they constantly compare themselves to celebrities and models in photos that have filters and photoshop. The Cinderella Project doing this does a lot more for many than a lot of people realize.
The project is slowly growing bigger and bigger, as they help more girls and help them make it through high school, they begin to help the project. It is a fine example of how helping others can help give back to the community and those around them, as it may even cause some girls to realize that this could be their passion in life. The project is quite similar to one massive butterfly effect.
The project helps more than with prom dresses, it is also made to help students overcome poverty in general and make it to graduation. It provides mentorship opportunities and scholarships to work in beauty-related fields, like hairstyling, for almost completely free. The project helps those who are less fortunate in general and helps people who will eventually work in beauty-related fields, adding even more reasons as to why this project is an amazing organization.
From dresses to opportunities, the Cinderella Project is working hard to make sure that high school girls have the opportunity to have their dreams come true. Its magic works in subtle ways but it beautifully highlights just how much effect small actions can have on people.
