Sanitary towels donation to Fleurhof Primary School.
Donate a Pad campaign
On Mandela Day, Ogle Foundation NPC, in partnership with the Integra Motor Group, donated a large quantity of sanitary towels to Fleurhof Primary School.
The sanitary towels were given to the girls in Grades 4 to 7 as part of the ongoing pads campaign for schools.
“The children come from disadvantaged families and most of them really don’t have money to buy sanitary towels, so you find that they stay at home when they are on their periods and miss out on school. I want to minimise such situations and that is one of the reason when I started this Donate a Pad campaign,” said the founder of Ogle Foundation NPC, Patty Ogle.
“We plan on visiting at least one school per month to donate sanitary towels and I urge community members to donate as well,” she added.
