Girls With Wiings
31 October 2024
Girls with Wiings is an organisation that sows hope and restores the dignity of homeless and underprivileged women by tackling period poverty and unemployment. We achieve this by providing sanitary products to homeless and underprivileged women and creating employment opportunities for women in need. We currently support 400 women each month in 11 different locations in Cape Town. To date, we have distributed over 40,000 sanitary pads to women and girls in need and are supporting 7 women through our GWW pads project.
Our aim for 2025 is to raise funds that will go towards the purchase of reusable toiletry bags for homeless and underprivileged women. Each bag consists of a reusable bag, sanitary pads, a facecloth, underwear, and soap. Additionally, we are raising funds that will go towards our entrepreneurship project where we are creating employment opportunities for homeless women through the labeling and packaging of our own range of sanitary pads. The profit from each box of pads sold goes toward the women we employ.
