🏉 A huge congratulations to Babalwa on being named 🏉 A huge congratulations to Babalwa on being named captain of the Springbok Women as they take on the USA this Saturday! 🇿🇦
We’re behind you every step of the way and can’t wait to see you lead with passion, courage and pride. Go make South Africa proud! 💚💛

Like Babalwa every young girl deserves the opportunity to dream big. 
By ensuring girls have access to free sanitary pads, we remove one of the barriers keeping them off the field, out of the classroom and away from their potential. The next Springbok captain could be waiting for that opportunity.
