Lend A Hand Campaign gearing up for  impactful 2026

SEKHUKHUNE – The Lend A Hand Campaign, a collaborative effort between two Non Profit Organizations (NPOs), Bana Ba Sekhukhune Community Solutions and Molebogeng Foundation, is gearing up for another impactful year in 2026.

Launched in 2019 at Matsepe Primary School in Tafelkop outside Groblersdal, the campaign aims to motivate students and educators while supporting schools and communities lacking recreational facilities.

In 2025, the campaign presented achievement and merit awards to learners and educators across Sekhukhune District, accompanied by uniform donations.

“We thank our partners and sponsors for making this possible,” said Chairperson of Bana Ba Sekhukhune Community Solutions, Jeffrey Hlabirwa Walker.

“Our focus for 2026 will be on teenage behaviour, teen pregnancy, and health education, with Sister Mampipi Kekana from Unjani Clinic leading the initiative,” he added.

Sister Kekana emphasized the importance of health education, particularly in rural communities with limited access to healthcare facilities.

“I grew up in a community where medical treatment was out of reach, and I decided to be part of the solution. I believe health education is important to learners especially in rural communities that lacks access to health facilities. We scheduled to visit schools once or twice a month,” she said.

Fununu Mnguni, member of Bana Ba Sekhukhune Women and Children Committee, stated that teenage girls need mentorship in health issues to deal with challenges they encounter on daily basis.
