Community members from various sectors supported the foundation, making it possible to reach those most in need. The donation drive was planned and carried out at Roodepoort Primary School, where many girls face challenges that can affect their comfort and wellbeing.

The aim of the initiative was to uplift and support young girls by donating 125 care packages to learners at the school.
