Youngage Foundation NPO in collaboration with XYZ Tutors, Golden Knot and Thapelo Community Projects visited Magaret Gwele Primary School on 9 April to present 300 sanitary pads, reading books and flavoured water to each girl child.
The girls were inspired by many different speakers, who motivated them and the parents who joined in for the day. The parents had the opportunity to speak to some of the motivational speakers, who explained to them how easy it is to get a tutor or extra classes to help their child(ren) in a subject(s) they are having difficult and that they should not give up and motivate their children to go further in their studies no matter what their challenges are.
Louisa Molise, founder of Youngage said: “As an organisation, our key focus in bringing meaningful purposes to townships and communities is education. It is true what Nelson Mandela said that "Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world". Our children need to be taught the love for education and the love for school, so they can be able to stay active, participative and learn as much as they can.
“We donated reading books to Margaret Gwele primary school. The importance of reading would be to improve their vocabulary, shower them with wisdom and knowledge and above all, educate a child, and build reading skills.”
She added that sanitary pads were also donated to everygirlchild,ashealth education is very important to a girl child - educating girls about menstruation, maintaining a safe, clean body and above all, staying away from early teenagepregnancy.
“It is our responsibility as NGO’s, to ensure we support our youth with all we can, for the future’s sake. There is hope in our children,” Molise ended.
XYZ Tutors,have made a commitment to assisting learners by sponsoring tutoring services to learners in subjects they are struggling with.
