A German girl organises a big contribution to a South African charity tackling period-poverty issues.
A 12-year-old girl in Germany was so touched by the inspirational work of South African period poverty campaigner Tamara Magwashu that she managed to organise a large charitable donation.that 30% of girls in South Africa did not attend school during their period.The story, published a year ago, was about how the now 28-year-old from South Africa's Eastern Cape province was helping girls unable to afford sanitary pads by distributing free ones to schools based in rural, impoverished areas.
"It's crazy to me that we are living in a world where people can go to the moon but others don't have a toilet," Caity said. It all went to help Ms Magwashu's non-profit organisation, Azosule, the charitable wing of which provides pads for free to schools in the poorest communities. It also sells more affordable, sustainable sanitary products.
