Tshireletso Ditlho to cycle 300km from Pretoria to Mahikeng for sanitary-towel drive

Tshireletso Ditlho is embarking on a 300km cycling challenge from Pretoria to Mahikeng on November 13 and 14 to distribute sanitary towels to girls and women in need. This is the fourth year of his initiative, Tshire_Ride_SA, inspired by the difficulties he observed during his upbringing in Mahikeng. T, as he is affectionately known, aims to raise over 1,000 packs of sanitary towels, with the primary beneficiary being Lokaleng Primary School in the North West.

Additional donations will go towards individual women from disadvantaged backgrounds. The ride, while physically demanding, is meant to translate Ditlho's effort into tangible support for those in need. He emphasizes that generosity can come in simple forms, such as sharing what is available, and urges people to be more conscious of their community needs.

To support Tshire_Ride_SA, the public can contribute to a R20,000 fundraising goal through the BackaBuddy campaign, donate sanitary towels, provide supplies, or join the cycling challenge, with T accompanied by Kamo, Amo, Masego, Zee and Molamu.
