NWU student campaigning to assist young girls

Carol Olerato Manyaapelo, a final-year political science student and member of the Student Campus Council on the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Mahikeng Campus, is running a campaign to empower girls as part of Women’s month.

The campaign, “Bleed free”, aims to provide girls with sanitary products, which Carol strongly believes all young women should have free access to.

“It is an unfortunate truth that many young girls cannot afford sanitary products, which often lead to them missing school. The “Bleed free” campaign aims to change this.”

“I am thankful for the support and generous donations from various companies,” she adds.

NWU student Carol Manyaapelo wants to restore the dignity of young women by providing them with free sanitary products.
