HELP A GIRL CAMPAIGN
At Help A Girl, we inspire young Africans to dream beyond the streets they grew up on. What began as a grassroots mission to fight period poverty has grown into a movement for holistic education, personal development, and dignified access to opportunity for every young person.
Who We Are:
Help A Girl Campaign is a South African nonprofit dedicated to fighting period poverty and supporting girls’ education. Founded by licensed social worker Abongile Khwaza and co-founded by marketing specialist Sinesipo Sibuta, the organization began in Cape Town with a simple but urgent mission: to ensure that no girl misses school because of her period.
Since 2017, we’ve distributed over 200,000 sanitary pads, hosted more than ten annual career fairs, led vision board workshops, and empowered young people in townships and rural areas with the resources they need to thrive.
What We've Achieved
At the heart of our work is a commitment to empower, educate, and uplift young people in rural and township communities across South Africa. Here’s how we’ve made a difference together:
Sanitary Pads
Thanks to generous donors and partners, we’ve distributed over 200,000 sanitary pads to girls across multiple provinces.
Career Fairs
Through our annual career fairs, we’ve connected thousands of learners with over 20 organizations, colleges, universities, banks, and skills training.
Empowerment Talks
We’ve hosted over 3,000 empowerment sessions, including menstrual health education, vision board workshops, and knowledge across provinces.
