Every year, the Active Civic Teaching Office (ACT) at the University of the Free State runs the Big Give campaign to raise food, money to buy food, and other forms of assistance for needy students. This year is no different. ACT’s big project is raising money for sanitary pads for students on all three campuses. The project will run throughout Women’s Month, August 2021. Providing menstrual hygiene products to female students empower them to continue their studies in comfort.
Karen Scheepers, Assistant Director: Kovsie Support Services, said: “This year, one of the challenges that have been highlighted is the lack of sanitary wear for students. Therefore, we focus our Big Give campaign this year on addressing this challenge that students are experiencing.”
Be part of the Big Give campaign by donating sanitary pads or money towards this initiative. Donation boxes are ready for donations at all the entrance gates of all three campuses. Your donation will go a long way in helping a deserving student.

The Mangaung/University of the Free State Community Partnership Programme (MUCPP) and MTN have launched a partnership at a function held at the multi-purpose MUCPP Centre. The joint venture has resulted in the revamping of the multi-purpose sport and recreational facility at MUCPP.
The facility caters for sporting codes such as netball, basketball, cricket, volleyball and a 5-a-side soccer. The launch coincided with MTN’s community social investment project, called Yellow Care.
