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 Paradys Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently acquired a feed mixer for the dairy on the farm. The feed mixer, supplied by Keenan, makes it possible to mix food for the fifty Jersey cows in a shorter period of time and less fuel is used in the process. At the delivery of the mixer were, from the left: Mr Gert Kleyngeld (representative of Keenan) and Prof Hentie van der Merwe (lecturer at the UFS Department of Animal- and Wildlife- and Grassland Sciences).
