Restore the dignity of our girls
The second chosen charity for this round of donations is BrightSpark Foundation SA.
With branches in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, BrightSpark is a safe space that aims to keep young people off the streets, and give them opportunities to express their talent through acting, photography and choreography. Their programme teaches coping skills for challenges young people face daily, like bullying, self image, body shaming and abuse. BrightSpark director, Welcome Witbooi, says pads are a massive need for the foundation.
“There are days when our girls step into this space crying because they can't afford sanitary towels, many of them resort to using toilet paper or pieces of clothing to prevent leakage.”
Witbooi adds the donation will “restore the dignity of our girls.”
