Matric dance is a special occasion for learners who will be concluding their 12 years of formal education before entering the challenging world of college, university, or the workplace.

A gorgeous evening gown with heels for girls and a suit or tuxedo with shoes for boys are gifts that many parents cannot always afford to offer to their child.
However, many young girls and boys from Eldorado Park, Ennerdale and Soweto schools are given lovely costumes to flaunt as they walk the red carpet, which is made possible by Sisterhood Foundation (SHF).
On Sunday, October 30, SHF held one of its drives at Eldomaine Secondary School, where few girls and boys from Ennerdale and Eldorado Park got the chance to select their attires. The drive was scheduled to move to Soweto on Tuesday this week.
Only the sponsors of Sisterhood Foundation are able to make this possible by donating their evening gowns, shoes, and suits to support these teenagers.

Many teenagers come from impoverished households who genuinely try their hardest to provide for their kids but are unable to give them the greatest gifts because they lack the money.
“The Sisterhood’s Matric Dance Drive is its most spectacular and satisfying event. It is great to watch the happiness on these students’ faces when they find the ideal suit, dress, or pair of shoes.
“Nothing compares to that sensation, especially considering that a lot of these kids would not have gone to their banquets if they had been unable to afford a dress or a suit,” explained Alisha Solomons, the founder of SHF.
“We work hard to be that change and to make sure that these children reach this milestone and are proud of their accomplishment of graduating from high school.”
