Changing lives, one dress at a time

Sometimes, changing a life begins with something as simple as a dress.

For Elizabeth Ipinge, restoring dignity and creating opportunities for young people has become her life’s work.

Through media, youth development and the Cinderella Goes to Prom initiative, Ipinge has dedicated herself to helping young people, particularly girls, pursue their dreams without compromising their dignity.

Now serving as project manager at DW Akademie Namibia, Ipinge continues to collaborate with communities, journalists and civil society organisations to strengthen youth participation and inclusion.
