Ensuring a happy period, restoring the sanitary dignity of young women at Tshegofatsong Special School for the severely disabled

The Deputy Minister of Communications, Ms Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, has joined forces with Serithi Campaign to provide menstrual cups to 61 learners at Tshegofatsong Special School in Mamelodi East, Pretoria.

The campaign aims to curb the growing crisis of girls in schools facing absenteeism due to being unequipped for their menstrual cycle, by providing them with a sustainable solution - Mina Menstrual Cups.

When used properly, the completely pain free and convenient Mina Menstrual Cup is the best feminine hygiene product for women which collects up to three times more fluid than a tampon and lasts up to five years.
