Polokwane sanitary towel drive aims to keep girls in school

Lebo Seabi’s sanitary towel drive aims to help over 500 underprivileged girls stay in school by tackling period poverty and reducing absenteeism.

POLOKWANE – More than 500 underprivileged young girls in Polokwane and surrounding areas will soon have a better chance of staying in school and reaching their full potential, thanks to an initiative led by Lebo Seabi, the founder of the mobile clothing store, Lebo Clothing.

Through a donation drive collecting sanitary hygiene products, Seabi hopes to restore dignity to young girls and remove one of the biggest barriers they face in their education: the lack of access to basic menstrual products.

“As a male figure, I want to lead by example and show that men can successfully run sanitary pad drives too. Yes, there are bad people out there, but there are also good men who care about their communities and want to make a positive impact. This drive is about joining hands and collecting as many sanitary towels as possible to donate to shelters and schools that need them most,” he said.

He said the drive isn’t just about hygiene, but about changing lives too. Many girls miss several days of school each month simply because they don’t have access to sanitary products. By addressing this issue, the initiative aims to reduce absenteeism and help girls stay on track with their education.

Anyone interested in supporting the Lebo Clothing Sanitary Towel Drive can reach out to Lebo Seabi directly at 079 238 8524 to make a donation.
