Locals lead the charge against period poverty
All contributions will be distributed directly to learners at local schools and organisations, in consultation with school principals and community partners.
The Pad a Girl’s Future campaign, spearheaded by the Boksburg Advertiser in partnership with Pick n Pay Towers, has drawn generous support from residents, shoppers, and local businesses.
Running from August 1 to September 7 in celebration of Women’s Month, the initiative encouraged the community to donate sanitary pads to assist schoolgirls affected by period poverty.
Donations steadily poured in, reflecting the community’s compassion and commitment to uplifting young learners. Adding to this generosity, Pick n Pay Towers contributed R5 000, giving the campaign an impactful boost.
Now officially wrapped up, the drive ensures that girls will not have to miss school due to a lack of sanitary products.
All contributions will be distributed directly to learners at local schools and organisations, in consultation with school principals and community partners.
The Advertiser is currently reviewing which schools and organisations will benefit from the handovers.
Heartfelt thanks go to every resident, shopper, and business that supported this Women’s Month initiative. Updates on the upcoming handovers will be shared soon.
