This program is called Activation program and it is aimed at reaching more girls around our region and we thought to kick start it in the month of August to help  boost and celebrate the woman's months in style.The program is runned by Trinity our employee and the Timbavati foundation team, who goes out to schools and give a lesson on Menstruation,Sexuality and other topics that are suitable for teen girls each participant / learner was given a pack of 6 pads, with a sample soap and an instruction Pamphlet on how to take care and wash their pads.

This is still an ongoing project that even to date we are still going out to schools and hand out the sanitary pads to girls in order to help them stay in school and as an extension of this program we also have saturday classes on our Wildflower center "UBUNTU GIRLS CLUB" where teen  girls come and learn about what it means being a female the changes and Challenges they experiencing as young females.
