On Thursday, January 25, 2024, Voltex joined forces with Ashraful Aid KZN to make a meaningful impact in the community of Rookdale Mission Bergville, KZN. The collaborative effort aimed to support the local school pupils by distributing essential items generously donated by Voltex Pty Ltd.
The team worked together to distribute 509 school shoes and hygiene packs to the students of Mqedandaba High School. This particular school was chosen due to the prevalent challenges faced by the community, including an increase in child-headed households and limited financial resources. Despite these obstacles, the 2023 matric pupils at Mqedandaba High School achieved an impressive 94% matric pass rate.
The distributed items included 509 pairs of Toughees Boys and Girls School Shoes, ensuring that the students had appropriate footwear for their daily activities. Additionally, 509 Girls Hygiene Packs were distributed, each containing 4 always sanitary pads, 1 toothpaste, 1 toothbrush, a facecloth, 1 bar of soap, and 1 deodorant. The Boys Hygiene Packs, numbering 509 as well, included 1 toothpaste, 1 toothbrush, a facecloth, 1 bar of soap, and 1 deodorant.
