DIGNITY PACK PROPOSAL
Dignity pack “Her Beauty, Her Strength, Her DIGNITY, Her Life”
he dignity pack is in essence a combination of products produced by two black
entities collaborating to address the scourge of young women in the country that
Thave to go through their monthly menstrual cycles without the bare necessities to
deal with that phase. Hygiene is key during this period and it has been noted that many
young women miss a lot of schooling days as a result of this. Kids in some instances start
their periods as early as 9 years old and at that time they are very much active playing at
school, as they get older they are more cognizant of the changes happening in their bodies
and if unable to meet the requirements of the stage they are forced to miss school during
this period. The have been many horror stories that result in kids developing cervical
cancer and other diseases and irritation as a result of ideas including the use of a cloth with
soil/aloe sown together to produce a make shift sanitary material. These and other old
wives tales result in the perpetuation of diseases and most importantly the loss of dignity.
women is giving them back their dignity.
Original thought: The dignity pack proposal and partnership was birthed in a session
preceding the visit of the Deputy Minister of Rural development and Land reform to the
community of Flagstaff on the 01 June 2018. Entrepreneurs present in that session had a
moment with ofcials of the department in which they presented their product offerings
and from those discussions synergies and collaborations were identied which conceived
the Dignity Pack Proposal.
