Why Dress for Success Hamilton?
Since 2002, we've dressed over 4,000 Waikato women, helping them step confidently into employment and independence. As part of a trusted global network, we combine local impact with proven expertise. In 2024 alone 65 percent of the waahine we supported were mothers to 398 tamariki.
Together, we can help more waahine walk into their future with confidence — donate now to support local women in need.
