Some 200 schoolgirls will no longer have to skip school because they lack sanitary pads, The pads were donated by Procter and Gamble at Singobile Primary School and Louisville Combined School in Mpumalanga this week.”Many impoverished young girls miss days of school each month because they lack basic sanitary protection. We target schools in the rural areas because it is where knowledge is mostly needed,’ said Kelebogile Mabe from Procter and Gamble. The girls will get new pads every three months.
