Meadowlands High set a goal of collecting 1 million sanitary towels
The school itself has taken up the challenge to reach that target before the end of 2019.
Meadowlands High School which is based in Zone 2 aims at collecting 1 million sanitary towels for their learners this year.
The school itself has taken up the challenge to reach that target before the end of 2019. This is an initiative that one of the male school teachers proposed.
Tshidiso Matshidiso said He has been with the school for some time and as a father I know the different challenges that learners are faced with and what they go through.
“We need to set an example also as a school that we are aware of what each girl child faces every month,” said Matshidiso.

Matshidiso added it is really sad knowing that a girl child has to skip schooling because her family does not have money to buy her sanitary towels, what are we doing as community members to assist these children so that they stay in school and education is their key to opening more doors for in future.
The school felt that they needed to also seek for more donations in order for them to be able to reach their target, so they have asked Tsepo Mhlongo to also assist where he can as he was once a learner who schooled at Meadowlands.
Tsepo Mhlongo also shared the very same words that as a nation we are aware of what is happening to our girls and what are we doing to make sure that they are taken care of and they do not miss school.
“We have heard their voices and we will always be here for them and help them in any way we can the coming generation shouldn’t suffer alone without help where else there are people and organizations out here,” said Mhlongo.
Mhlongo further said he is a product from Meadowlands and that in hid times Meadowlands High took the baton and even now he has heard that the learners are doing a great job which is what we want to see, our learners getting the right education that they need and all the help we can offer to them.
