Sanitary for Girls and Boys Programme
Our organization relies on the support of volunteers, donors, and partners to make our programs possible. We welcome anyone who wants to get involved in our mission to join us in making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Our non-profit organization (NPO) aims to address a critical issue affecting young girls and boys in South Africa: lack of access to sanitary products. We understand that access to menstrual and personal hygiene products is a basic necessity, and without it, many young girls miss school and social activities, leading to feelings of shame and embarrassment. Our NPO aims to provide young girls and boys with access to affordable and reliable sanitary products, helping them to feel confident and empowered in their daily lives.
Program Description:
Our program is designed to provide young girls and boys with sanitary products on a regular basis, free of charge. We partner with local schools and community centres to identify and reach out to the most vulnerable and underserved populations.
Our program provides menstrual and personal hygiene products, including sanitary pads, tampons, and wipes. Additionally, we offer education on personal hygiene and sexual health to empower young people with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their health.
Program Goals:
Our primary goal is to provide young girls and boys with access to sanitary products to promote their overall health, wellbeing, and educational opportunities. Our program aims to:
Reduce absenteeism and improve school attendance by providing menstrual products to girls, enabling them to attend school during their menstrual cycle.
Provide boys with access to personal hygiene products, promoting healthy habits and reducing stigma around menstruation.
Empower young people with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their sexual health and hygiene.
Promote gender equality and social justice by addressing the inequities experienced by young girls and boys in accessing basic needs.
