Pretoria, South Africa – It was a day of immense joy and celebration at Daspoort Secondary School as the TM Foundation extended its benevolence by distributing sanitary pads to students, reinforcing the importance of menstrual health, hygiene, and sex education. The initiative, part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts, aims to break barriers and empower young girls with the dignity they deserve.
The school erupted in cheers as students received the much-needed sanitary products, a critical necessity that remains out of reach for many due to the economic downturn gripping the nation. The inability to afford these essential items often results in absenteeism, discomfort, and other health-related challenges that can severely impact a girl’s education and overall well-being.
TM Foundation’s management team highlighted that their commitment stems from a deep-rooted desire to impact lives positively and protect the girl child from potential sexual exploitation due to a lack of access to basic hygiene necessities.
“For the past five years, we have tirelessly worked to reach out to the young, old, and less privileged members of society by providing fundamental needs such as food, clothing, financial empowerment, educational materials, and most importantly, menstrual health education,” a spokesperson for the foundation remarked.
Beyond distribution, the event featured an educational session aimed at equipping students with critical knowledge about menstrual health and hygiene, helping to dismantle taboos and misinformation surrounding menstruation and sex education.
