The struggle of sanitary pads is real
Ark of Hope Southern Africa is a non-profit organisation focused on advancing women’s health, especially reproductive health, and advocating for the rights of young women and girls in rural areas. Among the Mpumalanga-based charity’s goals is ensuring that young menstruators have access to period products to stay in school during their periods. Ark of Hope currently supports 1500 girls and women.
Founder Mbali "Pretty" Arojojoye says: “We work with girls in rural areas and farms and the struggle of sanitary pads is real. It is with the help of others, like Lil-Lets, that we don't give up and keep on helping young women and adolescent girls stay in school during their periods.”
Arojojoye wanted to send a special thanks to the Lil-Lets Talk members. “We believe that your generosity will leave our beneficiaries with boosted self-confidence during their periods, and that makes them feel more empowered.”
