Poverty is a vicious cycle. Many people – especially women – around the world are not able to get decent jobs just because of the way they present themselves. This is not their fault, of course, since they can’t afford professional looking clothes that would put them at par with other applicants with the same qualifications.

Dress for Success is a worldwide organization that aims to help women become financially independent by providing them with clothes and accessories that they can wear when going on interviews with employers. The services provided by the organization don’t end there. They also provide women with the tools they need to be successful in their chosen careers like job training programs and seminars on how to get over hurdles in the job application process. These programs, along with the clothes the organization provides, aim to build up a woman’s confidence so that they can become productive members of the workforce and society and finally end the cycle of poverty for their families.
