1 700 sanitary pads donated to 600 girls
The handover was made by Mphosho Youth Development, in partnership with Tsoga Re Phande Movement; Pontsho Ya Lesedi Charity Organization and the community of Segopje Ga Mamabolo.
POLOKWANE – “The reason why we decided to collect sanitary towels and donate them to young girls in the community who cannot afford to buy them on a monthly basis is because we saw how much they struggle to live and lead a normal life when it is that time of the month. It is sad when young girls miss schools because it is that month of the month and cannot afford to buy something as basic as a pack of sanitary towels,” said Mashile Phoshoko, who is the founder and director of Tsoga Re Phande Movement and Mphosho Youth Development.
Donations were made to the following schools:
- Maribe Primary
- Sekwala Sesoai Primary
- Mmaphotla Primary
- Bjatladi High
- Molapi High
Both Phoshoko and Radifadi Mamabolo (Pontsho Ya Lesedi Charity Organization) thanked the community for lending a helping hand with the project as they made the handover a success.
“Our 3rd Annual Segopje Music Festival was a huge success and thus made it easier for us to raise awareness around this project and campaign,” said Phoshoko.
