Tembisa Pad Drive a success
Each girl received a gift pack with three to four sanitary packs and liners.
240 young girls from around Tembisa benefited from the Tembisa Pad Drive on December 2 and 3.
Each girl received a gift pack with three to four sanitary packs and liners.
The gift packs were taken to the Tembisa Child Welfare in Kopanong, the Tumelo Home for the Mentally Disabled in Ivory Park and the Arebaokeng Orphanage and Hospice in Hospital View.
“After visiting the homes, we proceeded to Andrew Mapheto Drive and Tswelopele Primary School, where we distributed to all the grade 7 girls who were present on the day,” said the founder of the campaign, Ms Lebogang Vanessa Moche.
She said they also distributed in the Winnie Mandela Zone 10 informal settlements, where they went door-to-door, educating teenagers as well as giving them gift packs.
Ms Moche and her co-founder, Boitumelo Nqai, raised 700 sanitary packs from individual donations and company donations, which included Absa, Caxton and Indwe Risk Services.
