At the Alfeco Foundation, we believe that empowering women and youth is essential for building resilient, sustainable and equitable communities. Women, especially in South Africa, have historically faced multiple layers of oppression and continue to endure challenges such as gender-based violence, inequality and economic barriers. We recognize that true development can only be achieved when women and young people are given the opportunity, support and resources they need to thrive.

Our Women & Youth Pillar is dedicated to creating opportunities for growth, education and empowerment.

At Alfeco Foundation, we are committed to breaking cycles of poverty, unemployment and inequality through targeted Programmes that uplift and empower the most vulnerable members of society. By investing in women and youth, we are investing in the future of South Africa—one where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to a thriving society.

In addition to education, the EmpowHer Sanitation Programme organizes regular pad drives to collect and distribute donated sanitary products to girls in need. By partnering with communities, schools and generous donors, we aim to ensure that every girl has access to safe and hygienic menstrual care. Through this initiative, we strive to reduce period poverty, promote dignity and self-esteem and create a supportive environment where young girls can thrive without barriers.

Join us in making a difference! Whether through donating sanitary products, volunteering at our workshops, or spreading awareness, you can play a crucial role in empowering young girls and ensuring that no girl is held back due to a lack of menstrual resources. Together, we can build a future where every girl has the knowledge, support and resources she deserves.
