Sometimes, it’s the simplest everyday essentials that help build that confidence.

A warm bath. Clean hair. Fresh underwear. Brushing your teeth before school. These are things most of us take for granted. But for many of the girls in our care, it feels like a dream come true. And it makes all the difference to how they feel about themselves each day.

That’s why, this Women’s Month, we’re appealing for your help to provide Dignity Packs for the girls in our care.

Each R350 Dignity Pack includes everyday essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toothpaste and other personal care items that every young girl should have access to.

One item, however, is especially personal – underwear.

Rather than asking for donations of underwear, we’re asking for financial contributions that will allow each girl to choose her own.

Buying new underwear may seem like a small thing, but for a young person it offers something incredibly important: the dignity of choice, privacy and independence. It allows each girl to select the correct size and style, just like any other young lady shopping with her family.

Every donation, whether it’s a single toiletry item or the sponsorship of a complete R350 Dignity Pack, helps ensure our girls have the essentials they need to feel clean, confident and ready to face each new day.
