Engen supports Caring4Girls at Tswelelopele High School<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"Tswelelopele High School in North West is one of 30 schools to benefit from Engen\u2019s R2.5 million cash injection to the Imbumba Foundation\u2019s Caring4Girls programme.<\/p>\n

Caring4Girls visited the school located in Itsoseng this month to provide female learners with sanitary towel packs to help keep them in school during their monthly cycles.<\/p>\n

Caring4Girls currently reaches 750,000 girls throughout South Africa and aims to support 1 million girls in 2019 and 2 million by 2020.<\/p>\n

Engen Corporate Social Investment Manager, Adhila Hamdulay stresses the value of education and how important it is to ensure that all young girls are empowered and have the opportunity to realise their full potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot thrive as a society if some of our female learners are left behind, which is why we are very proud to partner with the Imbumba Foundation and contribute to this very meaningful initiative,\u201d commented Hamdulay.<\/p>\n

Engen\u2019s Head of Transformation and Stakeholder Engagement, Unathi Magida says it is important for Engen to actively support and take care of the communities in which the company operates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Engen we strongly believe that a country which is educated is a country that will prosper. By supporting these young girls, we will ensure that their confidence and dignity is retained and that they never have to miss school because of their monthly cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds. \u201cMost importantly, these girls will receive education and training around dealing with puberty, self-care and pregnancy avoidance, aimed at boosting their confidence. Education is a key enabler to transform lives, which is why we are so passionate about this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
