HELP US BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND EMPOWER 500 YOUNG GIRLS WITH THEIR OWN PALESA BUCKET
Prime Cleaning Suppliers and Gracie Jiu Jitsu Cape Town have joined forces to make a lasting impact on the lives of teenage girls around the Western Cape. We believe that every girl deserves to feel safe, empowered, and equipped with the tools to protect herself and we hereby invite you to be part of this life-changing initiative. Our first one kicked off in Leonsdale, Elsies River for 160 girls aged between 10 and 18 years old. It was a huge success.
Our mission is clear: to provide Women Empowered Self Defence workshops, fostering awareness and empowering these young girls with the knowledge that saying no and seeking help is their right. By teaching them practical self-defence techniques and boosting their confidence, we aim to create a safe and secure environment for these girls to thrive in.
Our support however, does not stop there! We also aim to gift each participant with a bucket of Palesa menstruation pads which last up to 5 years, ensuring that they can attend school without interruption for the duration of their high school years. Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle, and we want to empower these girls to excel academically and build a brighter future.
We are appealing to the public, corporate and private companies to join forces with us and assist in contributing toward this ongoing campaign so that we can provide each of the girls attending the various workshops with the necessary menstrual hygiene products, allowing them to focus on their education and realize their full potential.
Your generosity will directly impact the lives of these girls, offering them opportunities they might not have otherwise. Together, we can make a tangible difference and uplift an entire community, one at a time.
Why donate? FACT: A GIRL WITH ONE EXTRA YEAR OF EDUCATION CAN EARN 10 – 20% MORE AS AN ADULT.
By investing in the education and empowerment of these girls, you're not only providing them with immediate support but also setting them up for lifelong success. Your donation will help break the cycle of poverty, creating a ripple effect that will benefit not only these girls but also their families and the entire community.
Join us in this noble cause today by donating towards our campaign. Your generosity will make a lasting impact and help shape a brighter future for these teenage girls.
