Since 2018, an Israeli embassy team has been travelling across South Africa in support of this initiative. Having already changed the lives of thousands of girls in the North West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and the Western Cape, it aims to reach all provinces in South Africa by 2021.
The team recently collaborated with Palesa Pads to offer hygiene education and sustainable, re-usable sanitary towels for pupils at Tauphuti and Kgagatlou Secondary Schools, and Maijane Primary in Limpopo.
Said Israeli ambassador Lior Keinan, “Every girl should have access to education, which is key to relieving poverty and unemployment. The embassy will continue to co-operate with South African organisations to create a better future.”
