IN COMMEMORATION of Women’s Month, the Imbumba Foundation’s Caring4girls programme and the Daily News Milk Fund partnered to support Phembisizwe High School in Ntuzuma.

The joint outreach provided 453 pupils with a three month supply of sanitary pads, a puberty education session and stationery sponsored by Freedom Stationery, as the school’s matric pupils prepare for the upcoming preliminary examinations.

Period poverty remains a major challenge in South Africa, where severe socio-economic hardships place immense financial strain on families.
