Access to sanitary towels is more than just a basic need - it's a cornerstone of health, dignity and empowerment for women and girls everywhere. By ensuring availability, organizations such as Girls With Wiings support their education, self-esteem and ability to participate fully in society.

In honour of Mandela Day, The Star Foundation is proudly contributing R67,000 to Girls With Wiings. This donation will provide at least 394 school girls with 24 packs of maxi pads each, ensuring they can attend school with confidence and dignity.

Girls With Wiings is an organization dedicated to restoring the dignity of homeless and underprivileged women by providing them with essential sanitary towels. Founded in 2016, they have already made a significant impact by distributing over 27,000 sanitary pads to women and young girls in need. Currently, they assist 400 women each month through their various meeting points, offering not just products but also hope and support.

They envision a society where underprivileged women have access to basic health, sanitation and menstrual health. By empowering these women, they help build stronger, healthier communities.
