There are sustainable solutions available from Dignity Dreams NPO

In South Africa, millions of girls and women are forced to use newspapers, cardboard, cloth, and other makeshift materials because period products are simply unaffordable and out of reach.

Created by the MENstruation Foundation in partnership with the agency Joe Public and Independent Media, this striking campaign printed menstrual blood stains across newspaper pages, turning a familiar object into a powerful statement on what period poverty looks like for more than 4 million schoolgirls. Readers opened their newspapers to find what appeared to be a period stain bleeding through the front page and onto the pages that followed, a visual representation of a reality that many girls live with every month.

No one should have to miss school, opportunities, or everyday moments because they can't access basic menstrual products. The conversation around menstrual health needs to happen every day, until period poverty is no longer a reality.

Hey everyone 💛

I’m so excited to share this with you — we’re hosting a Mother’s Day Community Walk in Parkhurst!

We’ll be starting at Starbucks on 4th Avenue on Sunday the 10th of May, anytime between 6:45 and 7am, and we’ll also be finishing back there ☕👣

It’s completely open to everyone — moms, families, kids, domestic helpers, even your doggies are welcome 🐶

All we ask is that you bring along some non-perishable food items to donate to Bet On Better NPO, or if you’d prefer to make a monetary donation, you can just message me privately 💌

We’ve got 3km, 5km and 7.5km routes, and maps will be available — or you can just walk your own route

Starbucks is also getting involved, which is amazing — there’ll be spot prizes from Starbucks and Bet On Better 💛

☕ For the whole day, for every purchase of R45 or more, Starbucks will be donating a reusable coffee cup towards our winter feeding program for vulnerable children

We’re also doing some fun prizes for best dressed mom and best dressed dog, so you can get into the spirit!

It’s really just about coming together as a community, giving back, and celebrating Mother’s Day in a meaningful way

So please come join us — and bring your friends and family too!

Parkhurst is definitely the place to be 🌸
