Caring for more young girls in our community
Not all girls can afford to purchase sanitary pads.
The Tshepo Makole Foundation visited R.W Fick Secondary School to donate sanitary products to the girls at the school.
“This project is very important to our society, to us; and South Africa, even to our continent.
Research conducted by us has indicated that in each province, one in three girls from communities is absent from school due to a lack of access to, and support of sanitary towels. It is sad and painful,” said founder Tshepo Makole.
The Tshepo Makole Youth Empowerment Foundation held a meaningful and memorable initiative which focused on the young girls.
