Fashion for Charity is a private sector initiative that harnesses the power of fashion and its stakeholders to make a difference in society. From Abuja to Milan to Atlanta, various industry players in fashion design, fashion photography, fashion media, modeling and more, have come together to become a force for good in Nigeria and beyond.
This year Fashion for Charity will be focusing on the plight of internally displaced persons from north-eastern Nigeria. Over 2,152,000 people have been displaced (according to IDMC) from their homes and are currently living in less than humane circumstances around the country.
In response, Fashion for Charity has been organizing a series of fundraising and resource gathering events and drives to alleviate the conditions of these IDPs in their camps and settlements.
There is a total of 7 events, consisting of 6 pre-events (taking place in both Abuja and Milan) and the Finale featuring the legendary fashion designer himself, Giorgio Armani, auctioning off a one-of-a-kind His & Hers collection in the city of Abuja.

The Charity Drive 2nd Edition is a follow up to the highly successful inaugural Charity drive that took place in the New Kuchingoro IDP settlement in February 2016.
