Always Keeping Girls in School at Thabotona Primary School

Help keep girls in school

30% of girls in South Africa are missing school because of a lack of access to sanitary pads. They also require education around puberty to normalise the topic and make them comfortable with their changing bodies and that of those around them. You can help us today by not only donating pads, but sponsoring a puberty-education session that goes hand-in-hand with the distribution of pads. You as an individual or organisation can volunteer to help us pack the boxes that we’ll take on our visits to schools in need around the country. Read more
