You may remember Sancia Paul. We met her a few months ago she approached us for some help with awareness towards her initiative. She wanted to raise enough funds for or collect 15000 packs of sanitary pads for distribution to underprivileged girls. We’re happy to report that she SMASHED her goal.

We’re happy to have been part of the journey and helped Sancia raise over R100 000 to buy over 15 000 sanitary pads for underprivileged girls. We want to thank all the wonder listeners, sponsors and many more who came together for this initiative, and to Sancia especially for driving this amazing feat.
