Tiny local beauty princess has a lot to give to charity
Nikita Swartz has a charity drive selling sanitary bags for less fortunate girls
SIX-year-old Nikita Swartz may be a pint-sized beauty queen but the local girl is doing a great deal for charity.
The Curro Serengeti pupil is raising money for other girls who are less fortunate by selling sanitary bags. She sells the bags for R150 each and each bag contains three pairs of underwear, six re-usable sanitary pads and a zip-lock bag.
The grade one pupil does not only have a generous heart but is also a finalist in the Miss Tiny Junior SA 2016 competition, which will be held from March 21-26. The charity drive is part of the competition.
Miss Tiny Junior SA 2016 is a four-day competition where Nikita will be competing against girls from all regions in SA. “I hope by winning this title I will be able to have a good platform to be able to help those less fortunate than me,” Swartz said.
She has also been chosen as a finalist for the Face of SA part of the competition.
All the money raised needs to be handed in to The Dignity Dream Project, an organisation working with the Miss Tiny Junior pageant and who will have a table at the competition to collect the money. The project is responsible for making the bags and distributing them.
If anybody would like to contribute or assist with her charity drive, call 079-165-9126.
