PowerGirls is a program that aims to support young adolescent women.
The issue of menstrual hygiene also plays a crucial role here. The young girls stay at home once a month for a week because there is simply no money to buy sanitary pads. During their period, the girls often simply don’t come to school at all and thus miss an enormous amount of lessons.
The Ndlovu Care Group received a delivery of 384,000 packs of sanitary towels in the last few days. These will be distributed to the girls to ensure that they can attend school regularly, even during their periods.
The dignity of girls is a fundamental part of the PowerGirls program.
