The Pad Princess project dropped off much needed sanitary pads and pantyliners for unprivileged girls at the school on 13 March.
Northcliff Primary School’s marketing and resource mobiliser Suzy Beaumont said noticed that there were a lot of learners in need at the school, whether be it food, stationary or school uniforms. She also noticed a problem with girls who came to the school’s sick room frequently, and she realised the big need for sanitary pads.
“I realised that there were learners at the schools who didn’t have pads or the only one they had is the one they are wearing for the day. I am a part of the charities group on Facebook and that’s when I saw Alyson [Samson] from the Pad Princess project, was giving away pads to girls and young woman in need. I got in contact with her and she gave us sanitary pads.”
