The foundation’s project manager, Katlego Makutu, said their mission was to identify needs within the community and find means to meet those needs.
“Our projects include but are not limited to assisting children’s homes with day-to-day essentials, providing school shoes and stationery as part of our back-to-school project,” Makutu.
“We also donate sanitary pads to identified, vulnerable girls within local public high schools. Each year, we donate sanitary pads through our Becoming Pad Drive project.”
Makutu said the project began in 2022 when they donated 400 packs to 100 girls from Jiyana Secondary School.
She said last year they donated 800 packs to 200 girls within four high schools in their community.
“For this year, our goal is to donate 2 312 packs to 578 vulnerable girls from Phomolong Secondary School,” said Makutu.

“The community and businesses can support our project by donating sanitary pads.
“We recommend purchasing the Shoprite Caress R5 pads, or the SPAR Petals Classic R6 pads as these are cheaper and one can get more for less,” she added.
