Statement On The Rights Of The Child

Publication 01 March 2026 Heaven Sent Foundation NGO

Heaven Sent Foundation stands for a South Africa where no child is denied health, dignity, confidence, or educational participation because they cannot access basic hygiene products. We affirm that hygiene, menstrual health support, and safe care environments are deeply connected to the rights of the child.

A child cannot fully enjoy the right to education when they stay home because they do not have sanitary pads, soap, toothpaste, or other essential care items. A child cannot fully enjoy the right to dignity when poverty forces them to face school life in embarrassment, discomfort, or isolation. A child cannot fully enjoy the right to health when preventable hygiene-related conditions continue simply because support did not arrive in time.

We therefore advocate for coordinated action from families, schools, businesses, government, and civil society to ensure that children in under-resourced communities receive practical, respectful, and consistent hygiene support. Our work is not charity without direction. It is a response to rights that must be protected in everyday life.
