It is enough that our young girls have to bunk schools or even not attend at all because of dropped confidence that comes with those days, why add stress because of not having sanitary pads?
“Giving is just not about making a donation but making a difference,” said Mamodumo.
Helping Hands Foundation has now collected 3200 packs of sanitary pads since the beginning of this year with the help from Always South Africa and other people in the village and from Mpumalanga Province, looking to collect 20 000 pads for young adults in rural areas.
The Founder, Mamodumo Johannes Serota in Ga-Mashashane Utjane says that he had figured that it would be very ignorant of him and the foundation not to do something about the situation that ill plaques women.
Helping Hands Foundation is looking to donate these sanitary pads in schools around Mokopane, Mashashane, and Matlala so far, by next week that is just a few days to come. He mentions that they have already distributed sanitary pads in Osizweni School for LSEN ( SMH ) in Leandre Mpumalanga Province.
Mr Serota says he relates that challenges are everywhere and one of the challenges they are currently facing at this moment, is having to transport about 200 boxes of these sanitary pads from Mpumalanga Province to Limpopo as he has started with this initiative whilst in Mpumalanga due to work commitments.
He says the goal is to pay relief to the young girls. “Charity begins at home but should not end there”.
