"If not now, when? If not us, who?"
Every day, girls across South Africa miss school, miss opportunities, and miss out on their dignity - not because of who they are, but because of something as natural as a period.We're here to change that.
About Us
It starts
with a period.
For millions of girls in South Africa, menstruation is not just uncomfortable. It is a barrier. To school. To safety. To self-worth. Period poverty is silent, widespread, and entirely solvable. That is why we exist.
We show up
where it matters.
Since 2018, New Heritage Foundation has been on the ground in underserved Cape Town communities. Delivering sanitary products, running menstrual health education programmes, and advocating loudly for systemic change. Award-winning. Community-rooted. Unapologetic.
Dignity
is not a privilege.
Every girl has the right to manage her health with confidence and without shame. Our programmes do not just provide products. They shift mindsets, break stigma, and build a generation of young women who know their worth.
Get involved
Period poverty will not end on its own. It ends when enough people decide to act. Here is how you can be one of them.
Volunteer
You do not need a title or a budget. You need to care. Join our team on the ground and help deliver programmes, distribute products, and be a visible sign that this community is not forgotten.
Partner with us
Your organisation has reach. We create impact.
Since 2018, we’ve reached over 10,000 girls and 2,000 boys across Cape Town - delivering meaningful menstrual health education and support where it’s needed most.
Together, we can scale what’s already working - reaching more girls, more schools, and more communities.
Whether through CSI, sponsorship, or in-kind support, there’s a place for you in this impact.
Let’s build something that lasts.
Donate
R50 can provide a girl with sanitary products for a month. R600 keeps her covered for a year. R6000 pays for an entire program of training for schools in SA.
Every rand goes directly to a girl who needs it.
