Last month Nokeri unveiled her advocacy campaign Ed-Unite, which aims to bridge the inequality gap within economically marginalised communities and help ensure an equal playing field for all learners. The programme intends to raise funds for infrastructure and facilities in schools, scholarships and bursaries, medical and menstrual hygiene support, and sports and training.Miss South Africa sets R6 million fundraising target for her newly launched education campaign
"It was a no-brainer for me to return to Limpopo and help learners from my home province thanks to the initial monies raised by my Ed-Unite campaign. We will be visiting more schools in other provinces in the new year. I have to thank Forever New and our Imbumba Foundation partners, who are making such a difference on the ground. Period poverty is another barrier to education for girls in indigent communities. By tackling this, we are helping bridge that gap.
It was the first non-profit organisation in the menstrual hygiene space in South Africa and also led the lobbying for the successful abolishment of VAT on menstrual products.
