FOR THE PRINCESS CAMPAIGN
For The Princess is an initiative by the CEO of Jozi FM Mr Mpho Mhlongo under the CSI “Jozi FM Works Jozi FM Cares”.
Mr Mhlongo realised that most girls miss out on school during their monthly periods due to not having sanitary towels, these girls use cow dung or material to protect themselves which is unhygienic. He then called out to the community of Soweto to help by donating a pack of sanitary towels, the response was overwhelming from the community.We embarked on a drive and visited different church denomination, shopping malls and businesses asking for donations, all the different stakeholders responded positively.
Back to school shoes campaign
This was a call made by the CEO of JoziFM, Dr Mpho Mhlongo to his staff members at the end of the year 2022 after Christmas. Dr Mpho Mhlongo heeded a call to his staff and community at large to donate at least a pair of school shoes citing the social and economic challenges school children are faced with in our community.
This campaign drew enormous attention which had donations from businesses within our community such as Sopema Funeral Services and SFS funeral Services as well as individuals coming in to donate large amounts of money. This initiative benefitted 10 schools around Soweto with more than 800 learners in 2023.
The call again was made again this year and extended to the public to assist in a pair or two.
